Does this sound like you?

• You collect your favorite fashion magazines secretly dreaming about the moment when you’ll finally be able to work there, but you don’t know what are the steps?
• are you spending all your days trying to understand how to become a writer, more than actually doing what you love which is being creative and writing for magazines?
• you are afraid to propose your article ideas to magazines because you believe they will never publish you because you don’t have experience?
• you don’t think you have the credibility and capacity to write great fashion articles?
• you have already tried to pitch some of your articles to editors but they are not getting back to you?

You are in the right place!
