Get Published in Regional Parenting Magazines


Have you always wanted to write for a print publication, but don’t have the time to tediously gather information and read over sample and online copies? Are you a Mom Blogger sitting on some pretty good essay material? Don’t worry, I’ve done the upfront legwork for you!

This valuable, 400-page e-book kit contains information for over 200 regional parenting publications in the United States, Canada and Australia. Your first sale will pay for the small $15 cost of this e-book, and then you’re on your way to more success, including getting assignments from editors where you don’t even have to come up with the ideas!

Use the included Excel e-mail address database so you can get started quickly on entering the contacts into your e-mail system. Then, once you have some published credits under your belt, check out the BONUS SECTION of 29 national and online publications. The kit also includes spreadsheets for keeping track of submissions, time and money.

What makes this e-book so valuable and so different from anything you find online is that

(1) many online sources only list 20 or so parenting magazines and their writer’s guidelines

(2) much of the information is outdated

(3) you don’t have to go digging around the Internet, spending your precious time to gather the information.

For $20, I’ve saved you hours of work that you can instead spend writing!

Jennifer Gregory of Raleigh, NC said this before she had even used the e-book: “This is very complete and will save a TON of time. The listings for the publications are very comprehensive and save so much time looking up the writers guidelines. I also really like the spreadsheet and how you note things like no reprints and exclusive. This will be great as a quick reference.”

After submitting an article, she wrote, “I just wanted to thank you! I used the information in your book already. The publisher of [one] RPM contacted me and said that they had just run a similar story, but wanted to see more of my stuff. I sent her samples and she called me to talk her publication because she said my stuff was really good. We talked for a while and she asked me to submit 5-6 ideas based on their upcoming calendar. I sent 6 ideas and she replied that she loved all of them and wanted me to do write them. So, thank you... You've already got me some work and a hopefully regular client.”

Testimonial: Debbie Johnson

"Your book was WONDERFUL. I followed the suggestions you had, and on my first attempt, got an article published in one of the parenting magazines you suggested. Thanks to your book, it only took me about 30 minutes of effort to write the article and send it out. I have recommended your book to others. It was actually better than WONDERFUL. Thank you so much !!"

Testimonial: Jan Udlock

"Happy news! I sent my article using some of your ebook tips and I got 2 sales. Also, there are 3 more mags I'm waiting to hear back from that showed interest and this is all from ONE article. After I heard back from each of the mags asking about my fee, I liked the fact that I could skim through your ebook Writer Guidelines and check into the magazine. (I know that's a little backwards, but it works!) Great work." Jan Udlock, homeschooling mom of 5 and freelance writer
