Cash in on your Kids: Parenting Queries that Worked

Are you interested in breaking into the world of freelance writing for parenting magazines? If so, I’ve got the ebook for you: Cash in on Your Kids: Parenting Queries that Worked.

I’ve joined with two talented colleagues—Kris Bordessa and Jeannette Moninger —to share tips on how to sell parenting and family articles to regional publications as well as national glossies. The three of us have been successfully selling articles for more than a decade to publications like Family Fun, Parenting, Parents, Real Simple Family and many more.

In Cash in On Your Kids, we answer burning questions we get every day from aspiring freelance writers, such as:

  • How do you find ideas for your articles?
  • Is it OK to email an editor, and if so, how do I get her email address?
  • Should I write an article in its entirety before approaching an editor?
  • What kind of fee can I expect for a parenting article?
  • What kind of prior writing experience will editors want to see from me?
  • Can you seriously make a decent living writing about kids? (The answer, by the way, is “Yes!”)

But the best part of our ebook is the queries. A “query” is the technical term for “article proposal.” And in this book, we include 16 of our own actual queries that resulted in fees of up to $3,600.

Read our queries and explanations of why they worked, then apply our principles to your own proposals. Before you know it, you could have a byline in a national parenting magazine! Cash in on Your Kids: Parenting Queries that Worked is your blueprint for a successful writing career.
