The following is a list I've compiled of useful tools (in no particular order) to get an article published... No, I'm not just being really nice, Doc's making me do this...
1. Write an article that has rarely or never been written about.
2. Find a new angle.
3. Don't write anything that has been covered by the publication in the last three years.
4. Read at least the last 6 issues of the publication in order to get a feel for their style and focus.
5. Write about what you know.
6. Stick to the writer's guidelines provided by the publication.
7. Write a query letter.
8. Keep trying.
9. Write a great title.
10. TRIPLE check the article when editing BEFORE sending out.
11. Keep a record of which articles you've written, who you've sent them to, and when you sent them.
12. Learn to live with rejection.
