Thanks for all your comments! Okay, I’ll see if I can dig out that article and post it on the blog, though it might be out of date.

Rebecca, have you followed up? I usually follow up on queries after 2-3 weeks no matter what their guidelines or Writer’s Digest say their response time is.

Dan, glad to be of help in the year 2010…thanks for your note!

This is only the second post i’ve read on your blog (sorry – I’ve only just discovered your blog!), yet it is the second one to also have helped me.

It is only within the past few weeks that I have begun to look into magazine writing and so this, as basic as it may be to some, has give me a good idea of what I should be including in or how I should be laying out the initial query.

On something a little more humorous, did anyone else notice the phrase “in the year 2000?”.

I remember prior to 2000, no one really had any idea what to call it and “the year 2000″ was used quite a lot.

I know it makes sense, but it sounds a bit too formal for every day use (or at least for me it does!).

The year 2010, darling?

Linda, you’ve hooked me! I’d love to read the full piece. I know you sometimes post articles as blog posts if you’ve retained the rights to do, and if that’s the case with this one, then please, pretty please, share it with us!
