Study your target publication

Success begins here, where you dig in and research the publications where you’d like to appear. Get sample issues (or check if your library might carry it) and read several issues closely. Notice:

Whether bylines match names on the masthead
Identify the relevant editor
What topics they have recently covered
What types of headlines they use
How they start articles
What types of sources they quote
How many different sources are in a typical article
What types of research or statistics are cited
The writing style
How they end their stories

Market research

Read through market listings and guidelines, even in areas you don’t normally write. Make note of what the editors are looking for. Many times an editor’s request will set off a new idea for a story or article. Even if an editor is looking for a nonfiction article about cloning, that may spark an idea for a science fiction story.

Start with a strong lead

Hook your viewers or readers with the most intriguing aspect of a story up front; otherwise they won’t bother reading the rest of it.

Story background

Provide background on the story and how it fits into the magazine’s format and content show your familiarity with the magazine.

Learn to write query letters

How to write a query letter for a magazine is one of the top skills a freelance writer can adopt. Sometimes it is called a pitch letter, these correspondences will ideally grab the editor’s attention and convince them that their magazine simply must have your article in its pages.

Try the front of the book

The front of the book usually contains smaller stories than the feature well (where features usually run). When you read a magazine you’ll notice that the first few pages are often dedicated to smaller stories and that the cover stories (and longer stories are usually in the middle of the magazine). Those first few pages you read are part of the front of the book. Make sure you can turn it in before they risk assigning you a longer piece.

Find sources

Writers use expert sources to explain complex topics in simple terms, provide personal experience, and offer background information that adds depth and texture to their article. You’ll find most experts are happy to chat with you. Here are a few ways to do that.

Put out a request for an expert on Help a Reporter Out or ProfNet.
Search on your topic on press-release sites such as PR Newswire or PRWeb for experts in your subject matter.
Search Amazon.com for book authors on your topic.
