Editing a Parish Magazine can be a lonely and frustrating job.

You have great news to tell, and a host of interesting people to write for you. But can you get them to deliver?Sometimes its like pulling hen's teeth!

So over the next few months, we will be building a set of links that you can use to get news, children's pages, articles, funnies, and so on. Maybe just for filling that odd gap. Or maybe, in sheer desperation, to do everything except (or including?) the Vicar's letter?

the Association for Church Editors (ACE)
a national network of self-help groups for editors and others involved in the production and publication of local church magazines and newsletters.
