| kitty54 | Posted – 2/7/2008 10:08:17 AM | show profile Hi, I pitched a story to an editor. She said to refine my pitch and send it back. She also explained some specifics regarding how the stories should be written. Is it okay if I ask her to send over some samples? I have one issue of the magazine but I want to get a better feel of the style etc. Thanks. |
