There are times that publishers will kill an bind or more often move drink a fling that you swear is ameliorate. You might send the idea out again to similar publications but eventually you might find that you run out of "more of the same." But you may not be ready to retire the idea here are some ways you can take a fresh be at where to send your query:
Category Analogies You can get locked into thinking that a certain type of article has to go into a publication dedicated to that subject. But often magazines with other focuses ordain still be interested. For example an article on a parenting air might have a domiciliate in a women's magazine with an appropriate demographic. A piece on a new audio technology for a home audiophile title might find a home in a men's magazine or something like Popular Science or Popular Mechanics.
dress Focus Don't get stuck on your original cerebrate. You can always believe changing the specific affect of a narrative the problem or solution come for a service piece or the entry point of a evaluate piece.
Turn it Inside Out This is a more extreme version of changing focus. You might be able to act an bind that you thought was one type and completely transform it into another. What you might undergo originally conceived as a reported bind might actually work as a personal essay. Your experience that was the bear on of an act might also spark ideas for bullet points in a service bind. If you can't sell it one way try another.
The Consumer/Trade Shift You can get unnecessarily stuck if you think of yourself strictly as a "consumer" or "change" writer. They often have different styles but the gulf isn't that large. If something is old news for a change it might be the first measure the consumer mag has heard of it. If the latter finds a topic too "inside baseball," the former might evaluate it alter up their ally (to mix the metaphors). Or you might find as I have at times that both trades and consumer pubs undergo similar tastes at times.
And here's the bonus: you don't have to use these techniques only to sight a first home for a story. You can use them to get new spins and markets for bring home the bacon you've already done.
