How To Get Published In A Magazine
 How to Get Published in a Magazine

You've got a great idea for a magazine article, but it lies dormant waiting for magic to get it published. But there is no magic availabe or required, just your own careful
action.

Whether it's a story of a triumphant struggle, personal experience, or specialized knowledge that we feel compelled to share, it's not unthinkable that you could get it
published in a magazine. Here is some advice to help you get started:

* Investigate to find a magazine that seems most suitable for your topic, then analyze its style and tone by reading several back issues. News stands and libraries are good for such research. If the magazine focuses on humour, then your idea for a dramatic article likely won't fly. If its stock and trade is heavily researched articles, then your essay probably won't find a home there.

* Go to the magazine's website to obtain current contact information for submissions. You want to make sure you approach the right person. The publishing industry is
notorious for high turnover: it wouldn't hurt to call the publication and simply ask for the correct name.

* Send a query letter to your submissions contact, telling about your article idea in some detail and explaining why you are qualified to write about it. Make a good impression by ensuring that your letter is free of errors.

* When sending queries, writers normally send along copies of any previously published material. In absence of any, you should include some writing samples -- even if you have to sit down and create something.

* Learn how you should submit your article and do exactly as required. The magazine may provide guidelines in response to your query. Or you may need to check the
magazine's masthead, located near the front of the publication, or the website.

* Don't try to go it alone. Writing for publication is no simple matter, but there's lots of help available. Have a look at magazines like Writer's Digest and The Writer,
which give a variety of information monthly.

* Be prepared for rejection, which is part of the process for almost every writer. Many famous names persevered through rejections to find succcess. You can too, though
starting with small publications gives you a better chance of quick acceptance.

You can get published. It happens to aspiring writers every day. If your story must be told, you must tell it. With some research and hard work, you can see your name
next to the story you've heard a hundred times in your head. Just keep sending in those queries until an editor says yes.
