Who's a good contact at the magazine? I've queried some editors, but with no success...how have people here broken in? |

She did not actually pick up any of my ideas but was impressed enough by my clips ? which included articles in Parenting, Scholastic Parent & Child and All You ? to pass my details onto her colleagues, who then approached me with assignments as opposed to me pitching them. I think it was partly being in the right place at the right time and having some good articles to wave at them. |
