Got my letters out the other day to all the contacts I listed!
Here's the response I got from Woman's Day:
Dear Writer,
Thank you so very much for your interest in writing for Woman’s Day. Unfortunately, you are not alone. In fact, you have so much company, and we have such a small cadre of editors, that we have had to develop what you will no doubt find a rather tough policy on unsolicited manuscripts. This is what you need to know:
Our editors work almost exclusively with experienced writers who have clips from major national magazines. As a result, we accept unsolicited manuscripts only from writers with such credentials. There are no exceptions.
If you do have significant national writing experience, and you have an idea or manuscript that you think might interest us, e-mail us at www.womansday <http> @hfmus.com, including some of your most recent clips. Please note that we cannot guarantee that your submission will be read or commented on; it is by far most likely that we will get in touch with you only if we are interested in pursuing the idea you propose. Please note as well that we said e-mail; hard-copy submissions will not be considered.
If you do not yet have the national experience we outlined above, we look forward to hearing from you when you do. We also extend our regret that, should you nevertheless decide to send us a manuscript, we will not have the time to read, comment on or return it.
With all best wishes,
Woman’s Day Editors
So I guess they are out!!

Well that is a shame.
You would think that CDH awareness would be just up their alley.
It's so great you tried, so now we can move on to the others on the list.
I guarantee we will get it in a magazine!!!!Mark my words.
Let's not get discouraged!!!! We can accomplish great things working together.

Ok People I got my leter off to LJH. Who's next??
And Dawn...You mentioned Kara's video n a previous post
It was so easy to do the youtube video. If you give me something to write I can have, let's say Victoria say something about cherubs on youtube.
Do a Cherub's advocacy video and I can download it to youtube.
Like Victoria can say, "My baby sister was born w/ CDH. She died but my family is alive because of cherubs. the support research and advocacy we recived as a family ws honest straghtforward and helpful..."
Gimmie something to write and we can upload it to youtube....Just for you!!
Lise I think that rocks!!!!!
Please let us know when you get it on youtube. I can't wait to see it!!!!
