IACCW MEMBER EVENT: How to Write for Magazines

Julia McCutchen interviews Tania Ahsan TaniaAhsan250

Getting an editor’s attention can be quite a feat for a freelance contributor – with a limited number of pages to fill, and an acute lack of time on the part of the editor, what will make you stand out and secure that commission?

In this interview, you will discover how to:

  • source must-buy article ideas
  • approach editors in the best way possible
  • write a winning pitch
  • get the best price for your work
  • become the favoured go-to writer for commissions originated at the magazine

Tania Ahsan has edited a variety of B2B and consumer magazines for independent publishing houses and large corporations like IPC Media.  She is also a freelance writer for magazines like Natural Health and Psychologies and for newspapers like The Guardian and Metro.  As such, she knows about writing for magazines from the point of view of both the commissioning editor and the freelance journalist. She is also currently editor of Kindred Spirit magazine (www.kindredspirit.co.uk). Her own website is at www.taniaahsan.com.

Date: Thursday 6th January Time: 16:00 GMT / 11:00 EST
