Ready, Set, Query!

In a recent newsletter, available through his website, Gary McLaren offered ten tips for ensuring your magazine article query is ready to go. Soon I'll add this helpful article to the Free Articles listings on the Writing Help page here, but for now, I wanted to highlight some of McLaren's suggestions. Before sending out a query, review it for:

* tight writing
* spelling and grammar checked
* background and contact info included
* read publication and its guidelines
* correct submission method to be used

Outshine your competitors in an overworked editor's eyes by sending only professionally-prepared queries for freelance writing success.
