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!
