''Writer's Digest'' is an American magazine aimed at beginning and established writers. It contains interviews, market listings, calls for manuscripts, and how-to articles. ''Writer's Digest'' is owned by F+W Media, which publishes the annual edition of ''Writer's Market'', a guide containing a list of paying markets — magazines, publishing houses, and contests — as well as an index and tips for the beginning writers. The magazine is published eight times per year. ''Writer's Digest'' also sponsors several in-house contests annually, including the ''Writer's Digest'' International Self-Published Book Awards and their Annual Writing Competition for short stories. ''Writer's Digest'' partnered with book publisher BookBaby, the sister company of CD Baby, in August 2014, to create a self-publishing division called Blue Ash Publishing, to provide instruction and education alongside book publishing and printing services. Blue Ash Publishing takes its name from the home office of the ''Writer’s Digest'' editorial team located in Blue Ash, Ohio. ==History== ''Writer's Digest'' was established in 1920 under the name ''Successful Writing'', first issue, December. It changed name to ''Writer's Digest'' with the March 1921 issue. By the late 1920s, it shifted emphasis more from literary-quality writing to the rapidly growing pulp magazine field, which offered the widest opportunities to freelance writers. An important feature from 1933 forward was the New York Market Letter, edited by Harriet Bradfield, which gave timely updates on editor needs in the magazine field. As the pulp field collapsed in the 1950s, ''Writer's Digest'' shifted emphasis to famous writers and quality fiction.〔Locke, John; editor.
