About the Workshop
Many freelance writers aspire to publish articles and short stories in well-known magazines they regularly see on newsstands – like Good Housekeeping, Shape, Men’s Fitness, Better Homes and Gardens – or in well-known children’s magazines such as Highlights, Cricket, or Boy’s Life.
There’s nothing wrong with this aspiration.
I’ve written for several of these well-known publications, and they pay well and carry a great deal of prestige. But the competition to be published in these magazines is fierce, and many of them that only accept queries will not assign articles to writers who have not been published in major publications. Some of them, like the children’s magazine Ranger Rick, have closed their doors to unsolicited submissions entirely.
But this does not mean it’s impossible to get published in good, reputable magazines these days. Some magazines are not as well-known as the ones on newsstands, but they are high-quality and some do pay well. Many people ask about how to find these lesser-known markets, and in this teleclass I will lead you on a treasure hunt to help you find and decide which of these magazines might be a good place for you to submit your work.
In this workshop/teleclass you will learn and discover:
• Where and how to find leads to lesser-known magazine markets
• How to decide which magazines to submit to and which ones to avoid
• Important details about print versus online magazines
• Specifics about several good lesser-known magazines that accept freelance submissions
• Answers to your questions about finding and submitting to lesser-known magazines
