with wire.

Writing Articles by Louis Armour
Louis
had many useful ideas about getting
articles published in modeling
magazines. Useful
Tips and Ideas
- Get magazine guidelines via mail,
email to web site.
- Smaller articles are easier to
have published - anything from tips
to multiple page articles. 750 -
2000 words.
- Get good pictures and as many as
possible.
- Write out articles double spaced
with images on page to go along with
the text.
- Include a photo description sheet.
- Use a piece of tracing paper overlaid
on photos to indicate location of
arrows and such which need to be
added by the magazine. Also, include
rough sketch and info for any artwork
they might need to create.
- Good presentation materials, cover
page, contents sheet, etc really
helps.
- Most magazines have submission
meeting once a week or so. Rejections
can come quickly but they sometimes
hold onto articles they like for
a long time.
- If you use a digital camera, make
sure it has 3+ megapixels. Daylight
photos are best.
- List any modeling sources/resources
you used.
- You may also need a photo of yourself
and a short paragraph about you for
the article.
