So, you have figured out where you want your blog/op-ed to get published, what is next? Well, to improve your chances of getting a response from the editor, consider looking into specific instructions on the platform of your choice (“pitch” or “full draft”, word count, short biography, etc.) before initiating contact.
Do not get discouraged if your first submission does not get published. Always ask for feedback and seek suggestions on whether your piece could be a better fit for any other platform. A well-crafted article doesn’t come easy; it requires time, dedication, practice, and feedback!
Good luck placing your piece, and happy writing!
