The book includes freelance topics such as science, true crime, writing feature articles, query letters, travel articles, query letters, how-tos, writing profiles and many more. For example, the article titled "How To Write a Winning Query Letter" by LindaAnn Loschiavo explains how to hook the editor and concentrate on your strong points in your query, through examples, instruction and a helpful list of guidelines.
The other articles, all selected by Sylvia K. Burack, editor of the The Writer magazine, offer advice in the same complete, yet concise, manner. An excellent guidebook for the freelance article writer.
