One of my biggest takeaways while exploring Western Europe for six months was a conversation I had with an Austrian couple.

It is where the longest piece of the magazine is found, whether it’s a consumer magazine or a trade magazine. Having a piece in the “well” is a coup for a freelance writer and goes far to secure further assignments at that magazine or a magazine of the same genre....

We all know we should be writing notes and postcards, especially to our donors, volunteers, and supporters....
