I am looking for places to submit an article. I've included an excerpt from my query below to give you a broad overview. I submitted to AARP magazine, who rarely responds to unsolicited submissions, and an online travel site. Neither responded. I'm a newbie so if I've done something wrong let me know. Here's the beginning of my query letter.
Recently, my wife and I pared down everything we owned to a single shrink-wrapped pallet and six heavy suitcases. We boarded a plane in Portland, Oregon and headed for Uruguay. We are now living in a casita near Piriápolis.
Packing up and leaving our lives behind was hell. Everything was held to the harsh light of shipping costs and practicalities.
The article I'm proposing provides tips and lessons learned for readers who are downsizing an entire household in preparation for a major retirement move. The article addresses:
1) How emotions play a critical role when deconstructing a lifetime of stuff, and
2) Practical suggestions to manage the undertaking.
