How does an editor decide what stories to run, and which ones to throw away? If you know what an editor looks for, you’ve got a better chance to see your work in print.
Not all editors are like me. But the following items attracted my attention:
1. A great headline – I always looked for (1) unique news or (2) something that solved a problem.
If you can combine the two, that’s even better. Example: “Local man alleviates mosquitoes with homemade organic remedy.”
2. Expert advice – What do you know a lot about? Can you write about it from a READER’S perspective? (I discuss that in Chapter Two of my book “Words That Stick.”)
If your writing can reflect your expertise about a subject, this can give your story added status.
3. A local viewpoint – Does your story discuss local people? Or, if you’re writing to an industry magazine, does your story carry the names of industry leaders?
4. A 1-2-3 approach – Does your story offer a methodology to solve a problem? Example: “Five steps to a more beautiful yard.”
5. Shortcuts – Most readers look for faster, easier ways to accomplish various tasks. Does your story show them that shortcut?

5. Shortcuts – Most readers look for faster, easier ways to accomplish various tasks. Does your story show them that shortcut?
6. History – Have you found an ancient plate in your back yard? Is your office located in a hundred-year-old building? Stories with historical significance generally get good readership.
7. Predictions – Many readers love features like this, and you see a bunch of them around the first of each year. However, I think they’re appropriate anytime. Example: “Writing coach predicts e-mail letters will become shorter.”
8. Redemption – OK, this is one of my favorites! Examples: “The worst mistake I ever made.”
These stories generally talk about how a mistake led to a great success.
9. Odd items – Can your dog bark the alphabet? Can your cat predict the weather? Stories like this often get amazing readership.
10. Short paragraphs – Personal opinion: I love short paragraphs of one or two sentences. Longer ones make my eyes – and my mind – stray.
11. Summation – A good story generally offers a logical conclusion. It helps me if the last paragraph emphasizes the main point of what I’ve just read.
