Re: UKNM: RE: PC Editors

[Nick Gilbert]

Ian,


Have you tried The Source?


They describe themselves thus:


"Complete listings of editorial calendars, indexed by month and regularly

updated. This is the place to find out what magazines are planning. It's

also the ultimate resource of editorial contacts and links, with a full

alphabetical listing of magazines for direct access to editorial staff and

publisher details."


At the last count they had editorial calendars and editorial contacts for

800 IT and Business titles in the UK, Germany, France and Scandinavia.

Best,
