Dear Mary Pitchford,
I am proposing to write an article for your magazine, which focuses on a college student in the midst of a career change.
The subject is a 23-year-old senior at California State University Sacramento and he is a business administration major.
Recently, Jason Teske was working for a housing development group, basically as a realtor. Teske does not yet have his realtor’s license and therefore was not eligible for commission of his sales.
As a full-time student working five days a week he does not have enough time to study for such an exam so he decided to leave the real estate world and pursue his dream of being a sports agent.
He recently started an internship for the Sacramento Rivercats baseball organization where he promotes the team through events and contests.
Your publication has encouraging writing for students and advice for educational purposes, which would welcome the piece I’m proposing.
An article about a young man nearly finished with college switching career paths while staying within the spectrum of his major would give lots of students hope of achieving their dream.
I’m writing this article while enrolled at California State University Sacramento in the journalism program and I’m currently taking a magazine writing course instructed by Michael Fitzgerald, currently a freelance magazine writer.
The article can be customized to fit your preference and I’d be eager to do further work on it if you wanted me to expand on anything.
