This superb collection of articles provides you with insight and advice on how to write and sell the types of magazine articles publishers want. Coverage includes--what editors look for in your work; studying a magazine before querying it is the key to publication; what grabs and holds the reader's attention; sources of inspiration for articles; interviews; photos and graphics; and more.
Finding success peddling words to magazines doesn't have to begin as a starving-artist-in-the-garret existence of firing ignorant queries into the void and counting on raw talent and blind luck to see you through. Jean Fredette's handbook should be up there with the dictionary and thesaurus for any would-be feature writer. With 33 experts sharing advice on everything from killer queries to manuscript mechanics and resell etiquette, the Handbook of Magazine Article Writing is a far better choice than one of those how-to-be-a-writer seminars, and has more valuable information on hand at a better price.

Worst Book EVER read:
This book is writen by a series of authors. Each chapter is written by a single author, and each write about a single theme. However the chapters are too shallow. No good substance found for a serious person trying to write a good article that may be a good candidate for publishing. The autors are more interested in telling how good they are (in their own perspective) than willing to teach anyone about their supposed knowledge.
