When you are thinking about writing an article or want to pitch an idea to an editor, make sure your idea is specific enough. By doing so, you increase your chances of getting a "yes".
Example of How to Come Up With a Specific Idea
If you don’t have a specific slant, an article pitch is usually too generic. It would be like sending an editor a pitch about reducing your household water consumption. There’s nothing wrong with the idea but the editor won’t be itching to hire you to write it as it’s been done and redone a million times. Anyone could come up with that and it is generic and too broad of a topic.
One writer pitched an editor she’d never worked with the following idea - Water Conservation, Australia Style. There’s a region in Australia that had gone through years of the worst drought known to modern man. She suggested an article on what the people in Australia learned about water reduction and how North Americans could learn from them. Now that is an ideal slant. The editor loved it and the writer got the job.
