  1 0 Sorry to be a bummer, but it's pretty unlikely it will get published in the Stranger. The Stranger already has a full staff of writers, which means that most of their needs for content are being met already. However, if you have a piece you want to write, and you want to get it published, your best bet is to send an email to the editor with a proposal to write a piece for them. You can include the piece you've already written, though if they accept it, they may ask you to rewrite it substantially. While I don't know what the process is for the Stranger, many magazines have a strict process for accepting requests to write for them -- you have to send them a formal query. See this for how it works: http://www.the13thstory.com/articles/10_steps_Mag_Query.html You can do an internet search for "submitting query letters to magazines" to see more. Try MediaBistro.com, a site for freelance writers in the publishing industry. Expect lots of rejections, don't get discouraged, and continue to build your portfolio. One other thing I want to clarify: you can typically only publish a piece in one venue. So, if you publish it in the Stranger (for example), you couldn't send a query to the NYTimes Sunday Magazine and have them re-publish it. The exception here are the newswires (AP, Reuters, etc.), that often have syndication agreements with various newspapers. Best of luck!

  0 0 I'd like to know what the article deals with. It may influence your venue and the application and range of options.
