Writing Research

I came across this article: Writing for Parenting Magazines.
If you're a parent, grandparent or even if you just love kids, today's writing opportunity* may be just what you've been looking for.Parents Magazine is currently accepting submissions. The writer's guidelines are fairly specific and snail mail submission is required. Query first:

When querying us, please send a one-page letter detailing the topic you'd like to address as well as your strategy for writing the story. Demonstrate that you are adept at doing research by mentioning the kinds of sources you intend to use. Keep in mind that all of our articles include expert advice and real-parent examples as well as study data. It's unnecessary to send a completed manuscript; a query letter will do.

Always send a self-addressed, stamped envelope. 375 Lexington Avenue, New York, NY 10017 Phone: 212-499-2000
I think this could be a start, but with so many experiences, what topic should I address?

I also came across this website: Writing Opportunity

  • book publishing
  • Hybridmom.com
  • other freelace options
