Hello everyone
Welcome to the website for Crystal, The Magazine For Writers.
Crystal is an A4, 40-page, spiral-bound, print only bi-monthly with colour images. It is intended for subscribers called Crystallites. They will receive six issues a year. £21 UK/£32.70 overseas. £2 for a sample to see if you want to subscribe.

The magazine is very popular. There is a Feedback page on the Crystal website.
Contents: stories, poems and articles. Letters ‒ kind comments or none at all. News ‒ an opportunity to share writing achievements and anything of interest to writers.
Also accepting fillers and very long stories which could be turned into serials.
Wordsmithing. Titters Tips Titillations. Pay special attention to the second item in each section because there you will find useful information on writing (the ‘tips’ part of the title).
Also Word Wise. In the March issue we learn about brackets.
There are yearly Surprise Competitions open to everybody. The competitions are called ‘Surprise’ because you don’t know what you could win. But every winner has been really pleased. There are pictures of previous prizes and winning entries on the website.
The picture above is my granddaughter, Rose. She came joint first with her friend in a double mini trampoline competition.
