Many people, having accumulated some experience in a particular field of activity, begin to think about how to pass this experience on to others. And if a person has creative inclinations, then perhaps he wants to form his thoughts in the form of an article. But in order for the material to reach the reader, it must be published. You should not count on the popularity of such works on the Internet, unless the author, of course, is not a blogger-"thousand". Therefore, you need to go to the magazines.

Instructions
Step 1
Make an outline of your material. Try to give an interesting assessment of the subject being studied, form your point of view, pick up original examples.
Step 2
Explore all the magazines that raise the questions you are interested in. Chances are, you are already familiar with these editions. But if this is not the case, type in any search engine "magazines about …" (instead of ellipsis, put your subject). The only thing left to do is to select frequently repeated titles from a variety of links - for example, you want to review fantastic books from the past year. In this case, it is better to pay attention to such publications as "The World of Fantasy" or "If". If you have something to tell the worker of the apiary, then choose the magazine "Beekeeping" or "Man and Bee"
Step 3
Find out if the magazine accepts texts written by freelance authors. This information can only be obtained through personal contact. For this, there are official sites, e-mail and telephone number of the editorial office. The latter is preferable. If freelance authors are published in the magazine, then find out what requirements are imposed on the texts. If the answer is no, please contact another editorial office.
Step 4
Write a letter to the editor, present your idea in the most engaging way. In addition, give information about the scope of the article and your professional training in the given topic. If you have publications on a similar topic, do not forget to mention them. Your letter should not be flattering towards the editors, at the same time, you should not write that you are the ideal author for this magazine. Remember, editors receive a lot of emails every day, with preference given to the most succinct and meaningful.
Step 5
Wait for an answer. If within three weeks there is no news from the editors, call your addressee directly and find out the fate of your letter. If your idea did not seem interesting to the editor, write to another publication; if you liked it, agree on the exact date of delivery of the material, its volume, fee, conclude a contract.
Step 6
Remember ethical standards. Never agree with several journals to publish the same article.
Step 7
If you already have a ready-made material, you can send it to the editorial office without prior agreement with an explanation of why the article should be published in this journal.
