Hints: Writers have a hard time grasping who they're writing for through Youth Today. Many good writers submit queries or stories that are perfectly fine for general interest or parenting magazines, but not for Youth Today. Youth Today is a trade magazine aimed at people (mostly professionals) who work with kids. Writers should look through a couple of issues before devoting their time to a story pitch.
