8. Knowing the magazine I wouldn't go as far as to say that willnever sell something to a magazine you haven't read (I have),but I will say that you're not going to get rich doing it. Ifyou don't [url=http://www.tagverts.com/barbour.php]barbour deutschland[/url] want [url=http://www.sandvikfw.net/shopuk.php]hollister sale[/url] to go broke buying all the prospective magazines,get yourself a reliable Internet connection and visit themagazine's Website. No editor will stand a query that looks likeit's been sent to a million others.
7. Having the whole package If you can write great prose, butnot meet deadlines, you're replaceable. If you can get greatinterviews and dig up little-known statistics, but make thefact-checker's life hell, you might not be seen as a greatcatch. If you come up with the best ideas, but can't provideequally interesting sidebars, there's probably someone who can.But if you give the editor all those things and more, she has noreason to look beyond you.

3. Having all the answers It's important to know about yoursubject. That's why so many well-paid writers advise you tospecialize. So, if an editor calls [url=http://www.skoda-witzke.de/woolrichoutlet.php]woolrich[/url] you to discuss your [url=http://www.thehygienerevolution.com/hollister.php]hollister france[/url] query,and poses follow-up questions, you better have the answers.Because an editor's never going to trust you with an assignmentunless she's sure you know what you're doing. And not havinganswers to her questions is a sure-shot sign that you don't.
1. Giving more than you promise When an editor asks for twosamples, give her three. If she trusts you with an assignment,don't wait for the final deadline, but send it in a day inadvance. If she's asked you to provide notes, make sure [url=http://www.rtnagel.com/louboutin.php]louboutin pas cher[/url] you giveher everything she needs so that she doesn't [url=http://www.burnabystorage.com/barbour.php]barbour milano outlet[/url] have to ask foranything more. If you [url=http://www.teatrodeoro.com/hollisterde.php]hollister deutschland[/url] make an editor's job easier, she'll loveyou for it. And she'll be willing to [url=http://www.ttcarpets.co.uk]mulberry outlet[/url] trust you again with moreassignments.
2. Constantly coming up with fresh slants There may not be toomany new topics (unless you're writing about technology; thenyou just can't complain), but there can always be new slants. Aneditor likes writers who can reduce her brainwork, and make herlook good in front of her superiors by coming up consistentlywith great ideas.
6. Making boring subjects come alive Editors love writers with adash of style, attitude and chutzpah. If you can [url=http://www.jeremyparendt.com/Barbour-Paris.php]barbour france paris[/url] give even aserious subject a touch of humor, you'll soon be a hot favorite.This is especially true with technical, business and [url=http://www.skoda-witzke.de/woolrichoutlet.php]woolrich online shop[/url] trademagazines. Their subject matter tends to be boring. It's yourjob to not only inform the reader, but also to entertain him.
There are writers who editors like, and those they'd bet theircareers on. How can you be that writer who the editor will callon every time she needs an important assignment to be done? Areyou a hot favorite or a pass-on-for-another-freelancer who keepsquerying but receives no response? Here are the qualities thatwill endear you to an editor.
4. Coming up with clever titles, and great sidebars The mostimportant thing [url=http://www.rtnagel.com/airjordan.php]jordan pas cher[/url] I've learnt so far is to visualize your article.See how it appears on the page. Granted, it's usually not goingto come out like you'd imagined it, but for a minute forget thatyou're a writer, and think like a designer. See the beautifulfonts and the shaded box on the side? That's how the editor seesyour article. Now it's your job to bring that visual to lifewith your words.
5. Understanding the core audience of the magazine If you'rewriting for a magazine for home PC users, your editor's notgoing to appreciate ideas on network security, however wonderfulthey may be. Similarly, when writing for a small business owner,you'd want to treat that person [url=http://www.tagverts.com/barbour.php]barbour online shop[/url] as a little smarter, even if hemight have the same knowledge base as that of a home user. Hiscomputing decisions are more important. That's why you shouldalways be familiar with the reader's knowledge level. That'llhelp you make the distinction between good ideas, and great ones.
Editors often like to work with a select group of freelancewriters, who've earned the editor's trust over time. Byfollowing the tips above, you'll soon ensure an impressed editorand many lucrative assignments as well.
