Comments on: Scott Rose’s Query http://www.aboutfreelancewriting.com/2009/05/scott-roses-query/ Helping freelance writers make more money with their writing by Anne Wayman Thu, 09 Feb 2012 13:11:57 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2 By: Dan http://www.aboutfreelancewriting.com/2009/05/scott-roses-query/comment-page-1/#comment-3774 Dan Tue, 19 May 2009 21:22:28 +0000 http://www.aboutfreelancewriting.com/?p=3267#comment-3774 Interesting post. I think freelancers have gotten used to hearing nothing from editors, even for well-crafted posts. I know I have. In addition to being a writer, I'm also a trade-magazine editor. Like other editors, I simply don't have enough time, especially since I don't have much of a staff these days. So responding to queries that I don't want, just isn't a priority. I hate to say it, especially since I know how aggravating it is, but I don't respond to the majority of the messages I get from writers.
