Here are 21 magazines that want to hear your thoughts about fiction, poetry, music, movies, art. How is the plot structured? How are the characters developed? What are the themes and motifs? Is the use of language vivid and imaginative? Are you moved? And when you are done thinking and analyzing, consider writing about what you have read. Pay attention to what the author is saying and how she or he is saying it. The analytical process of reading is also important for writers. Reading is the fuel that will light your creative fire. Read fiction, nonfiction, poetry, personal essays, anything you can lay your hands on - especially authors whose style is wildly different from your own. Much of the craft of writing is absorbed unconsciously by reading great authors. The best tip anyone can give a writer is to read.
