The next issue will therefore be July. If you're wanting a reminder to let you know when a new issue is posted, I encourage you to make use of the free resource http://www.changedetection.com. If you sign up, they'll send you an email letting you know when a change has been made on the Writing for Children's Magazines homepage. Writing for Children's Magazines, May 2013
