Adventures for the Average Woman Magazine Blog
Since 2005, Adventures for the Average Woman (www.ideagems.com) has been a stepping stone for writers on the arduous climb up the steep path to publication. Listed with Writer's Market and the International Women Writers' Guild, our magazine has consistently provided the first opportunity for many writers to get their start as well as to help promote the books of up-and-coming writers. Although we are but a small piece in the publishing puzzle, we have contributed to the careers of dozens of writers to date. Here’s what some of them have to say:
