Do you dream of getting published in magazines - but aren't sure how to turn your ideas into articles editors will buy?
Writing for magazines is one of the most accessible ways to become a published writer. But only if you know how to find the right idea for the right market at the right time - and how to pitch it to an editor before you've written a single word.
This book shows you exactly how to do that. And then how to do it again, and again, and again.
What you'll learn
- How to generate article ideas from everyday life - and stretch each one into six more separate sales to maximise your earnings
- How to analyse a magazine like a professional, identify its readership, and shape your idea into something editors are actively looking for
- How to structure any article, from the opening hook to the satisfying ending - with a toolkit of different approaches to choose from
- How to pitch confidently before you write, saving yourself time and increasing your chances of a yes
- How to negotiate publishing rights and keep control of your work, so you can do more with your writing
By the time you've finished this book, you'll know how to spot article opportunities everywhere, pitch editors professionally, and build a sustainable portfolio-writing career.
Written by someone who's actually done it
Simon Whaley has published over 1000 articles in the UK, USA, and Australia, in magazines as varied as BBC Countryfile, The People's Friend, The Observer, Country Walking, Outdoor Photography, The Simple Things, and Coast. He also writes two columns for Writing Magazine, including the long-running (over ten years!) Business of Writing column. This book isn't based on theory - it's drawn from hard-won, practical experience, written with the warmth and humour that readers consistently praise.

"I was looking for a book to give me confidence and yours has done just that. I'm only on page 68 and already feel like I've learned so much."

"One of the clearest, most informative books on creative writing and publishing I have had the pleasure to study. Easy to read, easy to dip into."
Book 1 in The Practical Writer series.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to AHA-BUCH GmbH, Einbeck, Germany, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
