WRITING CRAFT ARTICLES MAGAZINES WILL BUY

Crafts are one of those things I don’t write about, but I have a friend who does, and when she does, she almost always makes a sale. The magazines that use them need a steady stream.

They don’t just offer a story or article, but let the child move beyond the magazine to create something new. Interactivity is a goal of many magazines, work that engages the reader and also leads to the reader doing something. A craft can fit this bill.

They’re not difficult to write, either. In fact, writing a craft article has a lot in common with writing a recipe. For step-by-step instructions, listen to the full episode.
