Good morning one and all!

I got a great response back from my query writing teacher. Apparently I have passed her query writing course with flying colours and can now put together enticing queries for magazine editors on my own.

For any of you that don't know, to get published in a magazine you have to send them a query that outlines your idea and how you would construct your article.

The query has to be concise and packed with information or the editor won't even bother reading it all. (Magazine editors are insanely busy!)

So basically, to even get your foot in the door the editors have got to like your query. And not only that. Your query has to stand up to scrutiny from all the editorial staff of the magazine before it gets chosen. Since I have never been published before in a glossy my query likely has to be even better. Being unknown means you've really got to prove yourself.

I find the whole process kinda thrilling really. I love challenges. Always have!

If I decide to tackle something, the harder it is the better. It's as if all my resolve grows and I find out I had more in me than I ever imagined. I love that!

So, now that I've mastered query writing it is only a matter of time before a magazine gives me a chance. Now that's really, really exciting.

Have a great day everyone and a demain!
