Hannah James on how to secure work from print magazines
About this episode
Despite the move to digital, there is still some allure about glossy magazines. This week Rachel and Lynne chat with Hannah James, the deputy editor of Country Style magazine about what print magazines look for from freelancers, how to pitch ideas and, importantly, what they pay. She also takes us through the workload of magazine staff, how it has changed over the years - and why many editors aren't great at answering their emails.
It's an episode packed full of ideas on how to get your byline in a glossy!
