Since I noticed querying came up, I was hoping to get some pointers as well. I have a film essay I was hoping to query a few magazines about. Is there a simple form query anyone might have offhand so that I could get a basic idea of what the professional model for one is?

I just got hired by one of the biggest lighting design companies in the country to write press releases--$300 a pop!
Not exactly the Great American Novel, but a paying writing gig!

Susan:
Thank you so much. That would be wonderful.
Kristin: Congrats! Ohh, that has the potential for wonderful "enlightening" puns. Terrible. I know. This is probably the reason why even my editorials for the mag have to go through the co-editor, because of my inability to use "tasteful restraint."
