My Best Writing Advice post generated some activity last week, so here's another gold nugget mined from my Five Easy Questions series. Way back in the first few weeks of this blog, the business editor, publisher, and popular publishing blogger Rex Hammock paid a visit to The Publishing Spot--delivering some simple magazine advice:
"In general, it is best to find who the managing editor is (in our case) and send an email to them. Most important advice for any freelancer approaching any magazine: read the past year's worth of publications (more, if you can get your hands on them) and figure out what type of stories make it into the magazine.
"Craft you query email to fit the sweet spot of the magazine's editorial focus."
What's the best writing advice you ever received? Pass it along, and I'll print it in a future Greatest Hits Post...
