Inside a successful magazine

As a freelance journalist and author I have read many books on writing for magazines and editing them. This one gives the clearest account I have seen of the different ways a magazine editor relates to staff and freelance writers and how he/she commissions, guides and gets the best out of them. Morrish is a writer and editor of much experience and it shows. He is able to illuminate the different premises that writers and editors work from and explain how those differences can be turned to creative account in a successful magazine. He explains graphically how the editor combines the various management skills requiredNo aspect of magazine management and production is omitted. The book is highly recommended to anyone working or wanting to work in or for magazines, in whatever capacity.
