But aesthetics are extremely difficult to pin down sometimes. <br />After researching, all I can do is send out what I think would suit a magazine best (and I think I'm wrong most of the time if my rejections are any indication). Then again, who knows?<br /><br />If an editor DOES know, I just wish writers were let in on it.

In some instances I think a degreed education could even have an adverse effect. I can understand why an editor might be vague on what they are looking for though. Putting limitations on what they accept might limit the diversity of what they receive and cause them to miss out on possibly innovative trending. <br /><br />It's a good idea to research a publication before submitting to them. From that point on the writer needs to resort to persistence and a bit of creative thinking.<br /><br />Arlee Bird<br />A to Z Challenge Co-host<br /><a href="http://tossingitout.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Tossing It Out</a><br />Arlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.com
