Answer 1

Jot a brief summary of your story explaining why you think it is special or interesting, including photographs if possible and send it by post to the magazine. You should address your letter to the Features Editor, if possible by his or her name (many magazines have a 'flannel panel', a small box in which the names of the various staff members are listed.) If you want your photographs back you should enclose a  stamped, self-addressed envelope.
