The Silver Needle is a great magazine! I don’t know what else to say, that just about sums it up.
P.S. I would like to sometime submit a puzzle for the puzzle column, I just don’t want to commit to upload one every month.

If you want to apply for a columnist you would have to submit monthly, but if you can’t, we do accept guest writers!
By guest writer I mean, you can just send an email to the magazine, and ask if you can send in some of your work for the puzzles column. You won’t be a columnist, but your work will still be posted. It might not be a for sure posted thing, we would have to look over it first. But if we accept it, then it will be posted. then later (another time/whenever) if you have more work, you can send it in to, and if we accept it, then it will be posted. Guest writers are not columnist, but they can still send in their own work if we approve of it.
If you really want your work published, but you can’t submit monthly, then you should give this a shot!
