Contacting a publication

[notwriting4free]

There is a publication that I'm interested in writing for. Someone I know got me the contact information and I emailed them some time ago in regards to their upcoming issues and writer's guidelines. I never did hear back from them and I'm wondering what to do next. They don't have guidelines or anything stated on their website so I'm not sure what information they want from freelancers.

Any advice or suggestions? They are TNT Publications in Ohio if anyone has any knowledge of them.

Thanks!

check out their about us page to see if they have any guidelines there. Or try the site map and see what you come up with. You can also try emailing them to request the guidelines. Good luck!

Better yet, just give them a call and ask, "I want to pitch an article idea to [name of magazine] - who should I send my pitch to and are there any writer's guidelines I should be aware of?"

This is what I do, and it works every time. Don't be nervous. The person at the end of the line won't grill you about who you are or what you want to write about.
