Write like the magazines

October 1, 2008 By Linda Dessau

My latest look through the book on my desk, Your Attention Please, led me to another gem.

The authors encourage us to browse the magazine rack for a model of writing that will get our audience’s attention and get them to take action.

It’s true, whether it’s a Cosmo quiz or a compelling story in Reader’s Digest, the sole purpose of these magazines is to serve their readers with entertainment, information and suggestions for improving their lives.

Writing prompt: Grab a popular “service” magazine from your coffee table or your corner store and choose an article to use as a template for the next article you write.

    I thought that this was an excellent suggestion to help someone like me who at times lack inspiration. I don’t read many magazines but do enjoy Oprah because of the useful and insightful tips that is available. It’s not all about the drama. Thank you for this great tip. Always enjoy reading your great ideas.
