The Magnet's Substitute Authors

  Home Page Friars Club Book Index Magnet Index Gem Index Frank Richards Contents  
Frank Richards, for one reason or another, did not always deliver his manuscripts on time; particularly from 1920-26.
The hiatuses were filled by authors who have become known as “Substitute Writers”.
The list is complete, except for one story, (Magnet number 937, of 1926), whose author has never been traced.
All the others have been verified by research in Fleetway House archives by Bill Lofts.
