What our
advertisers say:

Our advert in Mslexia did better than all our other ads. We've had more submissions from Mslexia readers than anywhere else. The standard of writing is very high.
Carole Buchan

Mslexia is a much more honest, creditable and attractive publication than its rivals. They offer a straightforward policy on ads and Mslexia readers are smarter, more ambitious and write better.
Harry Bingham

We are delighted with the response from our ad in Mslexia. Not only did we get lots of signs-ups for our Storyville master-classes, we also had agents and publishers approaching us. Mslexia helped us to stir up lots of interest in the publishing world.
Suzy Greaves
co-founder of Storyville Writing Academy

quotemark

Mslexia is a wonderfully informative and readable magazine. It's so hard to get our books stocked by bookshops these days, so Mslexia is one of the only ways of reaching our target audience – and we always get good results with our adverts.
Ellen Phethean
