Pen to Print Online: Introduction to Write On! – What Makes a Magazine?

As we begin planning Issue 29 of Write On! Magazine, Editor Madeleine White invites you to our introductory session designed for anyone interested in contributing to Write On! Extra or the main magazine. Whether you’re a seasoned writer or just starting out, this is a great opportunity to get involved.

Launched in June 2019 by Pen to Print, Write On! is a quarterly publication that celebrates creativity and inclusivity in writing. We welcome submissions from writers of all backgrounds and experience levels, encouraging the exchange of ideas and skills through our vibrant literary platform.

Distributed nationwide to libraries, universities, and writing centres, Write On! showcases work from self-published authors, traditionally published writers, and industry professionals. Our goal is to bring you the best insights, advice, and creative contributions from across the writing world.

The National Year of Reading 2026 is a UK-wide campaign designed to inspire people to make reading a regular part of their lives.

We all understand the benefits of reading and how it expands our minds, builds confidence and fuels creativity, yet fewer people are doing it. With growing distractions and limited time, reading for pleasure is declining across many groups.

This national campaign aims to change this by reconnecting reading with everyday culture. It is not about guilt or obligation, it is about showing that stories, ideas and imagination have a place in everyone’s daily life. Click here to find out more!
