I recommend to all new writers to try and sell a pitch to an edited magazine
I’d be curious to hear more about this recommendation. I’ve written a few things that I think are good, but when I’ve considered the idea of submitting to an established outlet, it just feels obvious that there’s no reason they should even be giving me the time of day. Do you recommend that I try it anyway, or is your recommendation more like, “write regularly for a few months, get some posts shared on social media, then try contacting editors”?
