2007 Query Challenge Success Story #31: Kara Williams

Kristen King

Because of these “cold” queries, I published articles in The Dallas Morning News, The Denver Post, Every Day with Rachael Ray, Aviation for Women and Chesapeake Family. I have a piece forthcoming in Denver Life magazine (brand new print publication). Online, I landed paid stories on GiftedTravel.com, WritersWeekly.com, write-from-home.com and
Grandparents.com, and I just sold a travel story to GoWorldTravel.com.

Even though the challenge sadly deteriorated (to use your words) I had my tally on my white board in front of my computer and likely would not have had some nice successes had I not been pushing myself to meet that 120 mark.

Go, Kara! Way to stick with it and persevere. I’m so excited for you and all of your new markets. :)
