"Success comes down to diligent research, precise querying, excellent writing, deadline-hitting, and being easy to work with."

But, two vital things happened. Have you had such an experience? Describe it briefly. Then tell us what Schecter’s tip looks like in your life today. In this chapter editors described the kind of writer they love working with. Some of those qualities are the same ones I and other professors like in a writing student. If you’ve ever been told you have one or more of the characteristics named, describe the occurrence and elaborate. In this chapter Schecter gives advice about exercising patience. He says, “Sending a follow-up before that response time has elapsed sends the message that you don’t do your homework, you don’t respect the process, or you consider yourself more important than other writers.” How can you practice heeding this advice today? Know your target audience, proofread, read the magazine. Those pieces of advice from one editor sound a lot like they could have come from a college English teacher. Common thought today is that sometimes what you do in school does not apply to what you’ll need to do in the real world.
