Attention Women Authors! Get Your Articles Noticed by
Magazine Editors
Women writers will find there are many opportunities
for magazine writers. There are magazines on most any
topic you can think of: sports, hobbies, business,
collectibles, cars, boats, decorating, cooking, child
rearing, and children's interests. This creates an open
market for women writers.
Perhaps you would like to become one of the women
who write for magazines. Here are some magazine
submission tips that will help you get started.
Find the Right Magazine
The first step is to find a publication that covers the
topics you want to write about. You can find a list of
publications in a directory for writers at a bookstore.
Libraries usually offer a reference list in a "List of
Periodicals." Also, look for a sizable selection of
magazines at a large bookstore.
The next thing to do is read the publications you are
interested in writing for and identify their editorial
perspective. This will give you an idea of how to adapt
your article to their interests. You normally wouldn't
send an article on cooking to a sailing magazine. But
possibly you could change the focus of your article to
cooking on a sailboat. This would give you a much better
chance of seeing your article published. Generally, you
will have more results writing for a magazine that covers
the same types of subjects as your article.
Send a Cover Letter
When you are ready to submit articles to a publication,
send a cover letter to the editor outlining your idea.
Make it clear and simple with an outline of your
subjects. Give the approximate length of your article and
promise to deliver on their deadline. Enclose a self-
addressed stamped envelope and wait to hear from
them. Make a pitch to several magazines and customize
it for each one you contact.
You might receive many rejections before you are
accepted. This is where you need to persevere and not
give up on being a woman author! Once your article has
been published in a magazine, it will be worth the wait.
Some magazines don't pay for articles, but at least you
will be published and able to add to your credentials.
Writing Professionally as a Woman Author
Always submit your best writing. Women writers who
want to be published must be smart and professional.
Don't waste an editor's time on hastily written copy or
missed deadlines. It is suggested that when submitting
an article to magazines, you should meet your word
count within only 15 words above or below the number
requested.
Send a handwritten thank-you note to the editor after
you've been published. Wait a few weeks and send
another pitch to sell your next idea. Try to build a
professional relationship where your name and quality
work will be recognized. Be a dependable, professional
woman writer that the editor will look forward to
hearing from.
Get started with your research, and write letters to
editors on a regular basis. You will see results once you
are committed to writing. There is a huge market
waiting for magazine writers, especially women
magazine writers. Get started today in this fulfilling
profession as a woman magazine author!
