Review

"Technical communicators thinking about becoming magazine editors will find Morrish's book helpful."
No1, Vol. 52; Pg. 86; ISSN: 0049-3155
-Tom Warren, "Technical Communication, 02/2005

From the Author

This new edition represents my second thoughts, five years down the line, on the exhilarating yet frustrating business of being a magazine editor. At least half of the book – the important half – has been completely rewritten, to place a stronger focus on the things I never quite mastered while I was attempting to lead a turbulent crew of writers, reporters, designers and others on London's favourite listings magazine.

Magazine editing is about making vital journalistic decisions, very quickly, and then trying to put them into practice with the help of a lot of other people who may not share your views, enjoy your sense of humour or even like you.

It's not a perfect book – I made a particularly stupid mistake on p99 (for monthly, read weekly) – but it is the only modern British book its kind. If you are in the editor's chair, or hoping to get there, I promise you will find something in it to help you. And if you don't, seek me out and tell me why, and I'll sort it out next time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Producing a successful magazine 10 May 2004
Format:Paperback
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 frelance 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 these differences can be turned to creative accountin a successful magazine. He explains graphically how the editor combines the various management skills required.

No aspect of magazine management and production is omitted. The book is highly recommended to anyone working or wanting to work in or for a magazine in whatever capacity.
