Editorial Calendars
July 4th, 2010
If you want to make money by writing articles, get your hands on editorial calendars.
Also known as ‘Advertisers Packs’ or ‘Media Kits’, editorial calendars and advertisers’ guidelines often have information on proposed themes for the year and deadlines for submissions. This is a huge opportunity for you to get the jump on other authors who are submitting blind queries. You’ll already know what types of articles to write. As a bonus, editorial calendars sometimes include a listing of special issues they will be publishing. Media Packs also give you information on the publication’s reader profile, what they want the magazine to represent and circulation figures.
So Google ‘editorial calendar’ and start making some moolah!

My stories run up and bite me on the leg – I respond by writing down everything that goes on during the bite. When I finish, the idea lets go and runs off.
