Let's Talk! Norfolk Now Norfolk's biggest-selling consumer magazine, at over 30,000 copies a month. Always on the lookout for more freelance material, they pay according to experience, which means anything from £25 to £125 for a feature. The material must relate to their target readership which is 50+ and can be personal insights into what it's like to be 50+ to real life stories of inspirational people and factual features on subjects such as health and recreation or Norfolk-specific stories. They prefer to see a brief outline of an idea plus some examples of previous work where possible, but if people are writing more personal items and are willing to submit on spec then they are welcome to do so. Ensure that saes are enclosed if you want a reply. No payment for readers letters as this is a big part of their title, but people are welcome to write in with their memories of Norfolk and they will publish them where possible. £25 paid for the best reader's joke or funny story/anecdote in their Let's Laugh section. Plenty of opportunity to get published, some paid, some not. Let's Talk!, Archant Norfolk, Prospect House, Rouen Road, Norwich NR1 1RE. Telephone: 01603 772738.
