Step 1
To get into your favorite magazine, decide on the style of the article you are writing. Take enough time to study the contents of the magazine, understand in what tone authors write, how they address readers, what topics are most often covered in the publication, and so on. You can then come up with your own ideas for potential articles for this magazine that might interest the editor.
Step 2
Try to write a letter to the staff of the magazine that you would like to get on its pages. Suggest your ideas. Write a short text about yourself and what you would like to tell the readers of the publication. Be consistent and logical, and be sure to double-check your spelling and punctuation before sending your letter - this is the text you first demonstrate to the editor your writing skills.
Step 3
As soon as the editor answers your request and gives you a chance to try yourself as an author, find out in more detail about the basic requirements for articles - volume, design, text structure, the need to provide photos, etc. This knowledge will help you save time and effort.
Step 4
Get busy writing an article that will help you get into the magazine. To do this correctly, carefully research all the information on the topic you are writing about. Take notes, do research, solicit comments. Of course, any text is edited before printing, but be sure for your part that you have done everything in your power to present the material in the best possible way - without factual and other errors.
Step 5
Always be optimistic and complacent. It is very important to have good contact with the editor, even if he constantly asks you to redo something in the article. Do not take a defensive position, but rather remember that any text is subject to editing. Treat this professionally - only in this case can you get into the magazine.
