In each upcoming issue, we will continue to provide, as we always have, new possibilities for your stories. For this BLOG, we would like to focus on tips or difficulties you have with placing your material. We hope other members, including associates will reply to your comments.IFWTWA.orghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03106057493558508782noreply@blogger.comBlogger3125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6602563996324303604.post-41759797993600591472008-10-18T17:50:00.001-07:002008-10-18T18:02:04.385-07:00I am an IFWTWA member based in the Lexington , KY area . In 2010 we will host the World Equestrian Games at the Kentucky Horse Park . This is a world class event that will bring approximately 500,000 visitors to the event in a 10 day period . IT IS THE FIRST TIME THIS EVENT HAS BEEN HELD IN THE UNITED STATES . Most of the visitors will be very affluent international equestrian professionals and enthusiasts . <br /><br /> The website for this event is <a href="http://www.feigames2010.org/">http://www.feigames2010.org/</a> .<br /><br /> This is an incredible event on its own and is also a wonderful opportunity to showcase various food, wine, bourbon ( of course ) and travel opportunities in the Kentucky and southern region . <br /><br /> I have an interest in writing about various aspects for this and would like advice from members on how to capitalize on this opportunity . This is the " Olympics for the equine world" and would and may never be held in the U.S. for decades .<br /><br /><br />Mark Sievers<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='http://res1.blogblog.com/tracker/6602563996324303604-4175979799360059147?l=www.ifwtwa.org%2Fblogger%2Fblog2%2Findex.lasso'/></div>Mark Sieversnoreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6602563996324303604.post-85821190386603774042007-12-29T19:00:00.000-08:002008-05-05T16:18:41.357-07:00What topics do you want to see covered in this blog? I jump to get a post up with each blog topic (we've only had two so far), but so far, we've not had a huge response. In fact, just a few, but, much appreciated.<br /><br />As members, and guests, what topics would you like to see us cover in this blog? Unless we have something of interest going for most of you, it doesn't make sense. All of your comments matter.<br /><br />So, please reply to this question with your suggestions.<br /><br />Maralyn D.

I know IFWTWA has been great about suggesting new, profitable outlets. I was spoiled with having co-authored two books and being picked up by Time Warner Cable.<br /><br />However, now that I've relocated, I'm starting from scratch. I've found two local publishers who have agreed to take a couple of articles a month and an occasional feature, but, I want to find more.<br /><br />Brenda and I have just sent a query (per guidelines) to a national magazine, and playing the waiting game.<br /><br /><strong>My question is do you get better results with queries or with magazines that will look at the actual article?</strong> I hope some of our writing members and associate members will comment.<br /><div><br /><div>Maralyn Hill</div><div><a href="http://noralyn.com/">http://noralyn.com/</a></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='http://res1.blogblog.com/tracker/6602563996324303604-4183696000796665481?l=www.ifwtwa.org%2Fblogger%2Fblog2%2Findex.lasso'/></div>Maralynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06084375199234356322noreply@blogger.com2
