Reason for reading: trying to launch my writing career
Blurb (from back cover): "You're no idiot, of course. You have a reporter's eye, a poet's touch, and you absolutely love to write. Stories, journal entries, letters to the editor-you name it, you know you can write it. But when it comes to selling your ideas to magazines, newspapers and web sites, you feel like the less said, the better. Seeing your words and wisdom printed in black and white seems like a lot more trouble than it's worth.
"Don't write yourself out just yet! The Complete Idiot's Guide to Publishing Magazine Articles will help you get where you belong-in print. In this Complete Idiot's Guide, you get answers to all your questions:
"Who hires writers?
"What newspaper, magazine, and online editors want from freelancers-and how much they might pay for it!
"How to write effective query and pitch letters.
"How the internet can help your writing career take off"
Opinion: It was a little outdated but overall contains a lot of useful information. It's a little repetitive with other reference books that I have but the more information I have, the better it is for me.
