To get into your favorite magazine, decide on the style of the article you are writing. Devote enough time to study the contents of the journal, to understand in what tone the authors write, how they appeal to readers, what topics are most often covered in the publication and so on. After that, you will be able to think through your own ideas for potential articles for this magazine that might interest the editor.

Try writing a letter to the magazine staff that you would like to get to its pages. Submit your ideas. Write a short text about yourself and about what you would like to tell the readers of the publication. Be consistent and logical, and be sure to double-check spelling and punctuation before sending a letter - after all, it is with this text that you first demonstrate your writing skills to the editor.

As soon as the editor answers your request and gives you a chance to try yourself as an author, find out more about the basic requirements for articles - the volume, design, structure of the text, the need to provide photos, etc. This knowledge will save you time and effort.

Start writing an article to help you get into the magazine. To do this correctly, carefully research all the information on the topic you are writing about.

Always be optimistic and in a good mood. It is very important to have good contact with the editor, even if he constantly asks you to redo something in the article. Do not take a defensive position, but rather remember that any text is edited. Professionally relate to this - only in this case you can get into the magazine.
