How to Pitch: Wired

Your tip sheet, straight from the editors.

By Melissa Walker – August 14, 2003

Circulation: 500,000-plus
Frequency: Monthly
Special Issues: The December issue includes a 20-page holiday gift guide.

Background: Just when technology started to infiltrate our lives in the early '90s—as college campuses set up email networks in dorms and offices started hosting central servers—Wired hit the newsstand. The magazine was pegged as a tech-and-science title when it launched in 1993, but since then, notes assistant editor Sonia Zjawinski, it has become "a Cliff's Notes of sorts for living in a modern world, cluing readers in to the people, companies, products, and places they need to know about."
