BBC Magazine Insiders - where the editors want to contact you!

As I flicked thorugh the latest copy of Lonely Planet magazine something caught my eye.

On page 8 there is a line that reads:

"Become a Lonely Planet Insider! We'd love to get you more involved in the magazine and hear your views - visit bbcmagazineinsiders.com to find out more and we'll be in touch"   

I've since enrolled  as a BBC Magazine Insider having ticked the boxes of just about every magazine they want involvement in, including Lonely Planet.

What the site claims:

"BBC Magazine readers and website users are invited to take part in regular surveys and questionnaires. As a member, you will be essential in shaping our magazines and websites - we want to hear your views on what we do.

• Get a sneak peek at what we are working on
• Offer your feedback - what are we doing well? What can be improved?
• Have a direct link to our Editorial team helping to shape our magazines"

Naturally I'm interested in all of the above - what a great way to influence and find out what subjects magazines are looking to cover next.

Not sure what to expect. Might not be much as there's little in the way of content once you have signed up and only two newsletters since autumn 2009 (and they're a bit thin).

I'll let you know.

Keep Writing...
