Hi David
>I do encourage those who are intimidated by the thought of submitting articles for publication to just go ahead and give it a try by contacting editors with a brief description of your topic and how it is relevant to the publication's audience. If your idea is accepted, you'll be on your way to an exciting experience. If not, you can try another idea or another publication until you succeed.
Sound advice indeed - and form one who really knows too :)
