I've been writing for the front of the book section of a magazine for about 6 months, but would like to spread out and write in other parts of the magazine as well. Should I ask the editor I work with now, almost like ask their permission, or should I just write that specific editor I want to pitch and say, "I've been writing (section) articles for (editor) the past few issues and would like to pitch..."

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I came across an idea that I think would be wonderful for [this other section]. Who's the best person for me to contact over there to share this info/trend/idea?
