Deborah,
Thank you for these tips for writers. Every magazine editor is looking for great content for their publication. As writers we need to study their publication, guidelines then write for their readers. It takes effort but is very rewarding to be published in these magazines and each thousands of readers. It's something I've learned from being published in over 50 print magazines. Yes it takes effort and focus but is very possible for every writer.

Straight Talk From the Editor
Deborah, these are such great marketing tips for writers. I love that you mentioned that we're not entitled to our readers' attention. We have to earn it and as you mention we can do that through great content.
And as Terry mentioned, if you're submitting to magazines, great content that readers want to read is essential.
Thanks for sharing!
