Bad news! I pitched an idea about the proper procedure for cutting a dog's nails to AKC Family Dog and recieved a response telling me that an article on a similar topic had just been published.
Good news! The Editor encouraged me to pitch future ideas to her direct email address.
Thinking back to my big fat article idea though, I want to smack myself. Most dog owners fret about cutting nails, so it's no wonder that the magazine has already covered the topic.
As I said before, I'm new to the world of writing for animal magazines, so I'm just wondering about how you come up with topics that haven't been explored to death...?
