HOW TO WRITE AN EDITOR’S LETTER
When writing an editor’s letter you have to remember the PURPOSE of your writing. What is this purpose? - To engage with your readers and persuade them to buy and to read the magazine - To give your magazine a personal touch - To introduce the content of the current issue.
Depending on the nature of your magazine, you need to choose an appropriate STYLE AND APPROACH. The right approach depends very much on the AUDIENCE you are targeting. For example a recent GQ editorial uses the conventions of comedy and tells a funny story. The humour is geared towards younger men who appreciate stand-up comedy, and is a little dark and edgy. It begins “before I tell you the literally jaw-dropping story of my aunt’s dentures and how they hijacked my brother’s wedding day…” By contrast the editorial for Vogue Knitting begins “We all have days when life gets to be a little too much. Whether you’re on the countless women coping with a busy nine-to-five (or much later) routine or the fulltime CEO of a busy home and family, there are days when the stress levels could be much less…” (A CEO is a Chief Executive Officer, this is humour.) Clearly this specifically targets women, using the inclusive “we”, and shows an appeal both to working women and to women taking charge of homes/families.
A third example is a new magazine called “Verily!” This editor’s letter tries to build support for the magazine and reach out to new audiences: “Welcome to the first full issue of Verily! When we started Verily we knew that women needed something different: a magazine that spoke to their hearts as women and celebrated who they are, not what they’re told they should be…” The editorial then goes on to explain what this means, stating that Women are beautiful. We are powerful, ambitious, intelligent, and creative. But too often we see caricatures of that beauty…” So the magazine is trying to do something more challenging, more authentic, more “meaningful” than the standard women’s magazine. When we read on to discover that one of the features it about “women who managed to escape from the dark world of sex trafficking” we realise there are is a more political, realistic and critical edge to this women’s magazine.
So to sum up: - Clearly target your intended audience and address them in the right way to attract them to buy and
read the magazine - Be lively and upbeat, encouraging and excited when describing what the magazine is about and the
articles in it - Ideally, include some special feature or promotion in this specific issue - Highlight the way your magazine content meets the needs of your audience.

PHOTOGRAPHY SELECTION – LO3 o Create a word document for each photo shoot and label this ‘Possible selection for #name
of photoshoot#’.
o Insert your possible selection onto these pages. Note any adjustments you might make to
each photograph. (See example below).
LO3 Possible selection for Front Cover - example
Alternatively I could use the group shot but both would need brightening and slightly cropping. I could adjust the colour of the water to make it less dull. The picture on the right has a little more action taking place and could be more appealing to my magazines audience rather than the static image above.
Possibly brighten and adjust the colours to make them more vibrant.
