Magazine Editor?!


Question: If I want to be a magazine editor, would it be better to work at Flare or Lou Lou magazine? Both of them have offices near my home, which is great!
I just really want to know what kind of magazines they are. Like if one is just fashion and beauty and the other just shopping.
Please help, I am getting a susciption to the magazine I aspire to work at for christmas.

If you want to work on a magazine, read the magazine you want to work on cover to cover. What do you like and what do you not? If it's a good magazine and covers things you know about, what is it missing from its mix you could suggest in an editorial meeting if you got chance? Make a list. If you are thinking of pitching story ideas, come up with 20, then re-read those ideas and cut the list to perhaps five, then come up with short one paragraph "pitches" outlining your ideas.
A magazine is going to look favorably on someone who has done their homework and knows the kind of thing they want to publish. They will look kindly on well presented pitches with correct spelling and grammar. They will expect a would-be journalist to come to them with at least some contacts that enable them to secure interviews or stories.
Working on a magazine can be great fun but it's hard work, too. The better prepared you are for a possible interview, the more you know about the magazine and the company that publishes it and what they publish, the better. Research. Write. Edit. The edit some more.
