Thanks for the query challenge and providing a motivation. I’ve slacked off a bit, but one of my queries from March actually got someone’s attention. An editor at Alaska Airlines Magazine, to be more exact. I’ll have a feature on Ajijic, Mexico, in their September issue! Yeah — I’m very excited!!! I sent off that query, just like many others, assuming it would be rejected (violins playing). Many weeks later…. I’m signing a contract for more money than listed in their writer’s guidelines. Yee ha!
Now I have some newfound motivation to get out more queries. You just never know.
That’s so cool! In-flight magazines are a very lucrative market, and one that’s so frequently overlooked. For anyone else who wants to get into in-flight magazines, you can get writers’ guidelines and pub info through WritersMarket.com.
If you have a Query Challenge Success Story, send it my way!

Good grief. Not more publicity. We are overrun already.
“Nella,” no idea what you’re talking about, but still glad you stopped by. ;]
kk
Nella probably lives in the area of Mexico Liz is writing about.
I say congrats to Liz to landing an article in an in-flight! That’s still on my goal list!
