How Many Pitches Are You Putting Out There?

As many of you may have read, this reader wasn't having any luck with their queries to magazines back in the Spring. Yesterday I got another writer with the same problem, and have expounded on three more reasons your pitch may not be working.

I know this is a tough nut to crack, and I know the rejections are annoying. But, it's not impossible- I swear. If at all possible, go for volume. Send out a spate of 10 to 15 well-written, well-aimed pitches in one weekend. Cover your bases, increase your odds. If you give up, you will never be printed. It's as simple as that.

Are you successfully getting published? I'd like to know how many pitches you send out in a month.
