I just sent off my first query letter to Sactown Magazine and I am both nervous and excited. I have been a fan and a constant reader of their magazines since the first issue they published. One of the editors for Sactown Magazine, Elyssa Lee, actually submits articles to InStyle magazine, which is another magazine I enjoy.
When I began to write the query letter this morning I had doubts about my article. Thanks to the assigned textbook, Writing for Magazines, there were wonderful tips in Ch.4 that provided me with a lot more confidence. After I finished writing the query letter and re-read it, the article actually sounded really great.
The article itself needs some more work, but I am determined to make the necessary edits that are needed and even do more extensive research. I'll also need to talk to several more students.
Tomorrow I will be sending two more query letters to Sacramento Magazine and Sac State Magazine. It would be absolutely fantastic if one of these end up publishing my article, but all hope will not be lost if they don't. I'll just keep trying over and over again.

What's up ace. It's Jesse Robichaud (Red Lion Sacramento, tall gangly guy slightly funny at times). Any who, I was looking to sign up for a class for work at sac state and I ran across your blog. I don't know how often you check your comments or write in this, but I hope you get this message. My email is:
imaslavetothegroove@hotmail.com, if you want to talk.
Oh and if your name is Vanessa Acevedo and you don't love butterflies and have no idea who I am, sorry.
Jesse
