Hints: Know something about the RV industry and/or lifestyle. Don't send a story on pool cleaning when exactly 0% of our readers have a pool. Do some research. I'm happy to send a complimentary copy of our editorial guidelines and recent issue to educate freelance writers because I rely on them quite a bit. But know what our magazine is about before pitching us a story.
