2007 Query Challenge Success Story #27: Julie O’Hara

by Kristen King on August 2, 2007

I found a piece of news that I used to drum up a query for a national travel magazine that I perceived as really tough to break into.  I wrote up a query in an afternoon and after some back and forth fleshing out with the editor, the story was assigned the next day.  I targeted the pitch to a specific section (FOB–I always try to break in with shorter pieces) and called to find the right editor to pitch.  I’m psyched (don’t know if people say “psyched” anymore, but I don’t care)!

Who cares what the “cool kids” are saying? I’m totally psyched, too! This is great, Julie. :]

If you have a Query Challenge Success Story, send it my way!
