Thanks for these great resources, Anne! I love Linda Formichelli and Diana Burrell's Query Letters That Rock. They're always my go-to source. I see you recommend them too! .-= Mary@Adventures In Freelancing´s last blog ..Free Teleclasses From Linda Formichelli of The Renegade Writer =-.

Hi,

I have a query ( the other type ) and I may as well ask it here..

Yesterday was the first time I have ever approached an editor. I didn’t write a query letter; I just wrote an email. I had written an article and wanted to get it published. I searched magazine websites for appropriate names and addresses and found two. I emailed both editors, who both responded, and both requested to read my piece – which I duly sent.

The question is:

Is trying to pitch to two editors at the same, with the same piece, acceptable?

I’ve tried to find this answer myself and I have about 50/50 split between yes/no.

Can someone help me with this?

Thanks & regards.

Bruce.
