Where to Start
- It's a good idea to read an issue of the magazine (print or online) before
sending a query.
- Queries should summarize and describe the topic clearly and succinctly.
Avoid vagueness and generalities. Be as specific as possible about what
aspects and slant of the subject you will cover, evidence of sources, people
you will interview, how the story will help our readers, and why you're
qualified to write it.
