| ItsAMysteryNY | Posted – 5/24/2005 10:21:51 AM | show profile I recently wrote a short piece on assignment for a regional weekly newspaper and want to expound upon it for a magazine article for the NYC/national market. While still interviewing the entrepreneurs behind what I'm writing about, I would be interviewing totally different people and it would have a different slant. When making the pitch, should I include the already published item and say, here's what I did with it and this is what I want to do? Or start fresh? |
| limericks4all | Posted – 5/24/2005 11:00:22 AM | show profile I've done this. I wrote a 500-word profile of a ranch that raised Periuvian paso horses for a small regional Los Angeles magazine. Then I sent the story to a regional magazine that covered the Western United States, asking if they wanted me to write them a full feature on the same ranch. They bought it. |
| ItsAMysteryNY | Posted – 5/25/2005 9:21:31 AM | show profile Thank you! This is a pet related article, so I figure I can pitch it anew to Dog Fancy or similar and tell them how my proposed piece will differ from what I already published. |
