I soon realised they were human just like me, and then of course, I became an editor.

We don't have to do such detailed outlines here in the UK – published articles are so short only a paragraph is necessary. However, I do always suggest photograps and sidebars and boxes and suchlike

They want help in putting together a great publication. We're in a position to be that help. It's a win-win.

Contact that place, Paula. 🙂

When possible, I also suggest possible sidebars or quick bits of added value for the pieces I'm pitching.

Recently, while rounding out national sources for a new article, I came across a local place doing exactly what my article is focusing on. I shot my editor an e-mail, saying it might be a stretch, and asking if she thought it would fit with the article or not. She suggested a little blurb of a sidebar on that as a microcosmic example of the national trend. Which reminds me….I still need to contact that place!
