How can I write an article for you for the Detroit News?

Question

sports

Answer 1

There is a secret to writing non-fiction articles for periodicals that most people don't know. The secret isn't the article -- it's the picture for the article. If you have a reasonably well-written article, you are much more likely to get it published if you have a good picture to illustrate it. If you want to write sports articles, take a decent digital camera with you, set it to its highest quality and take some pictures. When you contact the editor, tell him/her that you have an article and pictures ready to go. This will make you much more likely to get freelance article assignments.

I'm not sure if this is what you are asking but the above is my experience as a former magazine editor.
