Hello from a relative newbie,
I've been reading through some magazine theme lists (mostly Cricket and Cobblestone) and have a few ideas. The magazines require a one-page proposal for each article, along with cover letters, writing samples, bibliographies, etc.
I know how to write a cover letter, but what should the one-page proposal contain? Is it just a paragraph-by-paragraph summary of the topics I intend to cover? These articles are frequently less than 900 words (some as short as 250). Are there books about magazine proposals that you would recommend?
Many thanks,
Kirsten Larson
