I written many magazine type articles on a variety of subjects. Who do I send these to so that are read by the right people (agents, publishers, editors, etc.) and can be published instead of getting rejection letters?

Magazine articles typically don't have to go through an agent (most beginning writers don't have one) and are sent directly to the magazine editor.
If you've been doing that and just getting rejection letters, it could be they just don't like your writing, or it is more apt to be that your topics don't fit their needs. Before you send out your next story, get a couple of back copies of the magazine you're aiming at, and analyze the stories in them. Does your article fit that pattern? If not, it's going to come bouncing back. If it does, you're more likely to get a serious reading and maybe an acceptance.
Suggestion: Don't start at the top of the heap with the most popular magazines. They get zillions of entries. Start with the smaller magazines, where it's easier to get acceptance. You'll find lists of magazines and their requirements in Writers' Digest.
Good luck!

In college, we were always advised to get a copy of The Writer's Handbook. It gives advice, lists publishers (even those who will take unsolicited work) and agents. It's available through sites like Amazon.com. Be sure to get the most current (2006) edition if you decide to go this route. Best of luck!

No writer will take some thing hand written in recent times. i imagine, even years in the previous computers, maximum publishers wanted issues performed on a typewriter. Plus, it will be an modifying nightmare for you and the writer. No first draft is appropriate, what's it going to seem as if once you commence making ameliorations? it isn't likely that your paintings will be stolen, it really isn't any longer to knock your paintings, i have never study it, it may well be remarkable. yet there are copyright regulations that make that unlawful, once you write some thing, the copyright is implied, see you later as you may coach it really is yours. yet, in case you're demanding, you ought to get your self a cheap, refurbished pc, merely some thing previous with sufficient power to run a be conscious procedure and a USB port. maximum digital recycling places have them or will understand the position you ought to get one. you may password guard it and not connect it to a community. That way no you'll hack it, or get into it. what's so secure about a pc? all people ought to thieve it, then no longer in reality would you be interior a similar boat you're demanding about, yet you would don't have any thanks to coach that the paintings replaced into yours in the first position. a minimum of once you've it kept to you pc it will be dated, you would have early drafts and ought to save digital variations on your e-mail, a flash stress, a CD and all of this can function info that the paintings is yours. you would lose all of it in a pc, putting all of your eggs in a unmarried basket, because the expression is going. What in case you in reality lost the pc? What if there's a hearth? A flood and all the ink runs? all of your paintings will be lengthy gone with it. i have been engaged on a project this summer season, I did the full element in a pc. i got here across it unusually freeing to remove the urge to bypass again and edit in the previous i replaced into performed. yet now i'm watching 2 complete notebooks (my handwriting is messy, so I write somewhat tremendous to make effective i visit study it) and that i must form all of it up. So believe me, i think your discomfort. yet when i prefer to edit it, i choose a operating rfile. I merely devote somewhat time daily to it. besides, i desire this helped, best of success with your publishing endeavors.

Send your writing, to as many different people, with as many different titles, as you can. Be persistent, and just keep sending your writing out, for as many people to read as possible.
