Editorial guidelines are 1 or 2 page sheet of what they are looking for and is addressed to writers and it’s going to vary by the publication.
A lot of them are online…or you can write to the magazine and ask for them.
It’s very unique to the market. The market can be a town or in this case a magazine or newspaper.
How do you go looking for a feature?
-You have to know what's going on.
-Access (who do you know that's a good story? What do you know that's a good story?)
Write Doc a querie once we've discussed a potenial topic for the feature story and it has been approved by Doc.
A querie does the same thing as an outline for a research paper...but it's also a sales pitch for your feature story.
For Friday read or re-read chapter 1 in "handbook of magazine article writing".
Chapter 3 in Don Murray's book.
