I had something published, just the once, and it wasn't really a story, but an account of a friend's attempt to complete the Paris-Dakar rally with two other friends in a used Range Rover which they adapted at their own expense. I was lucky enough to have loads of photos to support the words as well. It was a unique story and matched the magazine launched especially for the 4x4 market.

I don't think it would have stood much of a chance if it hadn't been that the magazine was new, and the editor was keen to gather a wide range of material. My article went out in Issue #1. It was a true one-off and I wasn't trying for any repeat business, so it only stands on its own in terms of what it may be worth as helpful advice.

Maybe there's some sort of logical approach to be followed here. And this is: try magazines and especially any new ones. Beyond that rather limited advice/suggestion, I'm afraid I haven't much to offer apart from wishing you the very best of good fortune and that you should persist and persist and persist irrespective of the number of times rejection hits you fair and square between the eyes.
