Is this bad etiquette...

DeneBebbo

I pitched an idea for an article to an editor and he declined due to having comissioned a series of articles on the same subject. Would it be bad etiquette for me to pitch my idea (just a single article rather than a series) to another magazine, but one which covers the same hobby/interest and so would be a competitor?

Carol

Not at all.

You are a writer, you can offer your work to whoever you want.

The first editor didn't want it- and obviously the topic is good- so of course you offer it to the competitor.

heather

Yep, that.

Lizy

Go for it - and do it now before the other magazine starts its series so you can't be accused of plaigarism.

Claudia

Yes, agree with what's been said. Get pitching!

DeneBebbo

Pitch sent off! Thanks for the responses.

Mrs Bear

Pitch forth, DB!

Carol

Fingers crossed.

Wilts

Good luck DB.

Tiny Nell

Phots Moll

Can't see any problem with this at all.

Claudia

Pitch sent off! Thanks for the responses.

Good luck.

Liz

Ditto, DB!

St Force

I would have send it sounds good to me but you've already submitted. Best of luck!

DeneBebbo

Pitch sent off! Thanks for the responses.

The pitch went into the proverbial black hole, but it's always worth a try.

Mrs Bear

At least you tried. Maybe a different approach to the same subject would work?
