That dream market? You know the one that arrives every month in your mail? The one whose pages you touch lightly, turning them carefully as you read every line, every paragraph, every advertisement? You know that magazine that makes your knees go weak every time you think of having your name in it? You know that magazine you want to write for not because it’s a big name or because it’s tough to break into, but because being in it would mean that you achieved that level of writing ability that you could be proud of? You know that dream magazine of yours?

Pitch it.

It’s likely you haven’t already. Or maybe you have and received no response. Doesn’t matter. Pick that one dream market, and take that first small step. Send an idea, call their office, or send a Letter of Introduction. Doesn’t matter what you do. Just take that one small step today.
