Question:
I want to write for a magazine, how do I start?
I'm want to write for local fashion magazines, but I've never done it before. Is a normal resume enough, or must you have a portfolio to start with?
Answers:
Send in your normal CV but make sure you have a brilliant covering letter with it as that is what they will see first.
Makre your the covering let starts by grabbing their atttention and do a bit of research about the magazine you want to write for and include parts about them in the letter.

Maybe if you can afford it ask if you can have some work experience their free of charge, this will make them very interested.
Good luck!
