What is the editing process like when working with freelancers?
Relying on the recommendation of the editors, the publisher decides whether a proposed article would be of interest to our readership and may provide further direction as to the contents. I, then convey those directions plus general info, deadlines, and word count; request that the writer work with our style guide (online); and then edit the final piece, returning it to the writer for revisions/queries as needed. The publisher may also request revisions. What articles are you looking for? What sections are open for freelancers? Writers can pitch any type of relevant article based on what they surmise from looking at the Web site. We will send out a sample copy of either magazine to writers who have the kind of experience that would make them viable candidates for assignments. Since this is a niche topic, what advice do you have for writers interested in writing for your magazine? Don’t pitch consumer-oriented articles, and don’t send in submissions if you don’t have experience writing
