 Written to be used! May 16, 2010

I like how it reads and makes sense. It's too soon to tell if it will help me produce sellable articles, but I'm hopeful.
 not detailed enough March 19, 2010

This book is good if you already know how to write magazine articles. It gives a lot of information on the business side and getting them published. The actual writing section is not detailed enough, though and gives generic advice, such as to review it the next day with a fresh set of eyes.

I am established in my professional field and am looking into publishing articles in trade magazines, and Rubgerg's book makes an excellent primer. Every industry has its own habits and expectations, and that includes magazine publishers. I considered just picking up the phone and chatting editors up, and in hindsight, I realize how clueless (or borderline dumb) that would've been.
Handbook of Magazine Article Writing delivers on what its title promises, covering everything from brainstorming and finding markets to reprints and tax deductions. At the same time (and unlike most books in the field), it keeps its focus on magazines, not books and not prose. If this is what you're after, definitely give it a shot.

Although I felt there was a little too much time spent on other authors' personal experiences, overall the explanations of how to be a success in the magazine writing game were well written and understandable. This is a good source for the beginner and the experienced author alike. The Writers Market for the current year is an ideal companion to this book.
Packed with Information! June 11, 2008

The information covers the entire non-fiction magazine market, not just journalism. Includes the best ways to break into freelancing, and compares small and large markets. Creating a niche for yourself versus generalizing is also covered. Some writing tips are offered, as well, but the focus is on selling your work.
I am very pleased with this book, and I recommend it.
