Hi there Kristina, I really enjoyed this article. Great fabulous advice as always. I also saved it for future reference when I am ready to expand on writing and pitching stories. To answer your question about a magzaine I always wanted to write for in high school I had this teacher Mr Y. I can't say or prononunce his full name as it had every letter in the alphabet lol. Long story short Mr. Y was my awesome Advanced English teacher he kind of kickstarted my desire to write and he bought the class a subscription to the New Yorker which is a presitigous magazine. I assume it still is as I haven't read it in awhile. But I always had a dream to publish my fiction and maybe even non fiction there. Thank you for this piece as it relit the fire I once had. It kind of has twinkled with going back to work then my friend came to visit for a week so I have been a bit preoccupied. Today I attempted to do a few things but I am still a bit tired. Tomorrow I shall return to a somewhat normal writing schedule. As always thanks for all that you do. Blessings. :) :)

Oh the New Yorker. Wow. That would be a nice achievement.

Bet you're busy back at work, Bill, but if you really want it, you can get published.

There are also cool journalist here on Substack teaching how to reach out to the media.

I'll soon share another podcast with someone who got their Substack story in a newspaper.

We just need to know HOW and of course gain the confidence to do it.

Inside our school you now also have access to the bonus resources to learn more from Ashley already. Checklists always help. Often we forget an important step and the successful pitches are a great inspiration too
