[Journalists] Question re magazine submissions

[Jennifer Justice]

I would tend to agree with your hubbie- particularly if it's nonfiction we're talking about here. You can always reshape an article to meet the specific needs of the publication you'll be submitting to. This becomes easier to do as you gather more expertise on a topic, and it's easier to do if you are willing to be flexible in terms of the presentation of your material.

  Hello Donna and welcome to our list!!

Can you give a few more details on the types of nonfiction articles you are 
writing?

That would help in narrowing your focus for your magazine submission.

As for your question on submitting stories, I've never heard of any rules 
about submitting to one magazine at a time.

Good luck, and keep us posted on your progress.

Take care.
