If you’re keen to write stories that will be published in newspapers, magazines or on online platforms (to grow your profile, create an additional income stream for you, as a writer, and become a known voice on your subject), there’s a formula to follow.
Here it is…
- Find your story. It might be a personal story, a story about someone else, a feature (on a specific subject).
- Make it relevant. Why this, why now?
- Find the publication you’d like to see it published in.
- Get the right editor.
- Pitch.
- Follow up (carefully, cleverly).
- Get the commission.
Looks quite simple, when you break it down, don’t you think?
