I queried in a general sense because of my experience with a special needs brother in that I have some sort of “authority” in the issues they write about.
Here is their response:
Dear Jessica,
Thanks very much for your interest in [magazine]. While we do not have any writing assignments immediately available, I will review your information and keep it on file for consideration for future assignments. In addition, I’m attaching a copy of our writers’ guidelines for your reference.
Best,
[redacted]
Editor
THAT’S GOOD, YES?!?! :)YAYYYY!
Great job, Jessica! Way to put yourself out there. This just goes to show that even if you don’t have a specific story idea in mind, editors are always in the market for strong writers whom they can count on to come through with high-quality articles.
Do you have a 2007 Inkthinker Query Challenge Success Story? Great! E-mail me!

Thanks for the encouragement. If I don’t have a specific idea, I have been sending a “hey this is who I am and what I can do and what I have done” email — it’s just as effective I do believe. Being on file is better than never emailing at all. :) Happy Querying.
Good job! Way to make your strengths work for you. :]
