The May/June 2025 cover of Writer's Digest, celebrating the 27th Annual 101 Best Websites for Writers. The magazine's masthead reads "WRITER'S DIGEST" in large, white, stylized letters, with "WRITERS HELPING WRITERS SINCE 1920" in smaller orange text below. The main image features a smiling Laurie Halse Anderson, a white-presenting author with short grey hair and red-framed glasses, looking directly at the camera with her hand near her head. Several article titles are listed on the left side of the cover in white text on a dark blue background: "CULTIVATE INSPIRATION USING RESEARCH," "5 STEPS to Build Your Platform Using Literary Role Models," "4 WAYS Pop Culture Adds Nuance to Research," "Use Visual Note-Taking to BOOST BRAINSTORMING," "WD Self-Published E-book Award Winner: LUCY DAY," and "WD Personal Essay Award Winner: F.A. BATTLE." A plus sign in a white circle leads to the text: "THE LEGACY LIVES ON: MEET THE NEW WRITERS BEHIND CLANCY, LUDLUM, & FLYNN." In the bottom right corner, there's a smaller image of the book cover for "Rebellion 1776" by Laurie Halse Anderson. Below the main image of the author, a banner reads "WD INTERVIEW" in white letters on a dark blue background, followed by "Laurie Halse Anderson" in large blue letters. Further text highlights her as "THE TWO-TIME NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FINALIST ON WHY RESEARCH WAS CRITICAL FOR WRITING HER NEWEST MIDDLE-GRADE NOVEL 'REBELLION 1776'." The bottom left corner indicates "MAY/JUNE 2025" and the website "WritersDigest.com" in white text on a dark blue background. The overall design is informative and celebratory of writers and writing resources.
