Summary:
however, as an editor myself, I've turned down many submissions due to repetitive themes and outlooks.

It's shocking how far some writers go to avoid writing: I obtained permission from a recent journalism grad to reprint a wonderful article of hers that I'd stumbled across.

Use those No/Low-Pay Markets

I'm still using those free articles to get paying jobs: clips from a couple of humor parenting stories written nearly five years ago pulled in two assignments from national US print publications.
Article:
Writers talk any which way rejection all the time – just part of the job. But getting rejected by a no-pay publication really scrapes the barrel. I know: it's happened to me more than once and now that it's been years [of therapy] later, I can interject lessons learned.

1. Competing Market

My first novice reproach submission was to an AboutCom site. The writing was good, and loaded with links to other helpful sites. It was the latter that got the piece booted. The website editor simply did not pick out to publish articles that might lead readers to sites similar to her own.

This goes directly to the 'study back issues' mandate offered by experienced writers. Even if you don't be dying to with a specific editor's approach, you need to write to those specifics or submit elsewhere.

2. Preaching to the Choir

Animal organizations are usually sorely in need of donations, whether financial, by way of goods or content for newsletters. However, an single on the care and feeding of feral cats, garnered from years of experience in rescue work, was rejected on the grounds that it was targeted to the wrong readership.

Acting on that advice, I searched out and submitted to 'how-to' publications directed at readers not involved in stray cat rescue, and published the affair multiple times. For example, a gardening ezine was interested in it from the point of view of 'pest control' rather than any humane reasons per se. Semantics aside, people who might never have read the thing in some radical mammal rights newsletter were potentially reached.

3. Regurgitating

There may be nothing new under the sun, but at least try to give your sentence a unique twist or perspective. To my knowledge, I've never been rejected on the grounds of simply rehashing; however, as an editor myself, I've turned down many submissions due to repetitive themes and outlooks.

It's shocking how far some writers go to shrink writing: I obtained permission from a recent journalism grad to reprint a wonderful instalment of hers that I'd stumbled across. While doing research into the topic (for purposes of artwork), I found the exact same article. Verbatim. Written by someone else.

Use those No/Low-Pay Markets

I'm still using those free articles to get paying jobs: clips from a couple of humor parenting stories written nearly five years ago pulled in two assignments from national US print publications. Similarly, I base everything I write on rejection lessons learned over the years: study the publication (not just the guidelines); put yourself as a reader of that magazine; flip your angle, dig deep and work hard for originality.
