Writers: I've been writing parenting and family magazine articles for almost 20 years, and I still love it! Some of my articles from 15+ years ago are still relevant and are still being published as reprints, although these days I'm fetching more like $50 for a reprint article instead of $25 like in the early days of my career. I've got an instant download that takes you inside my brain so you can do what I am doing, and it includes hundreds of markets so you can get started today! (you can also wait for the updated version in print on Amazon, and I'll share the link here once that's live!)
Editors: I have a Facebook group called Parenting Magazine Writers, and it's over 900 strong. It's a place for writers and editors alike to share market info and tips, as well as have conversations. If you're looking for articles on a particular topic, this is the place to post that ask.
Here are some character traits of mine you can learn about from the following references and recommendations, and I urge you to click on the links to find out more about the talented people who took the time to share these words:
"Kerrie's book has been a springboard for my writing career! I wish I had known this information when I started. I would be so much further along! I'm so grateful that Kerrie is willing to share the secret to her success! When I was in training to become a stockbroker, I had to take a crash course right before the Series 7 licensing exam. Kerrie's book is the crash course for getting published in regional parenting magazines! I wish I had found it years ago!" — Kelly Stilwell, writer

"A dandy book about a very specific topic and market (parenting) that should help lots of writers get in print and fatten their larder, modestly.
