Just thinking about an idea.

Has anyone submitted and gotten published in a local kid's magazine? You know the ones that lists local events - you can usually pick them up free at libraries, dr offices..

I'm thinking of articles to submit - listing of course me as the expert on the topic! lol

I wonder if Home Office might have some 'press release' types of articles about kids/families/lunch box ideas/picnic.......

Help me think about this idea.

It's a way to get free advertising.

Hi Tracie,That's a great idea! I haven't personally submitted to a local kid's magazine, but I know many people who have and have had success with it. It's a great way to get your name out there and showcase your expertise.I would definitely recommend reaching out to the magazine and asking if they have any specific guidelines or themes for articles they are looking for. That way, you can tailor your pitch to fit their needs and increase your chances of getting published.As for ideas, you could definitely write about lunch box ideas and picnic tips for families with kids. You could also consider writing about fun and educational activities for kids during the summer or back-to-school season. Another idea could be a feature on local family-friendly events or attractions.In terms of free advertising, you could also reach out to local businesses or organizations that cater to families and offer to feature them in your article. This could potentially lead to partnerships and collaborations in the future.Good luck with your submissions and I hope to see your name in a local kid's magazine soon!
