How to write a Magazine Article

1.Research your article topic using sources like books and published texts.

One of the key elements of a good magazine article is good research. Take the time to locate good sources and read any necessary supplementary material to help you get a better sense of the article idea. 



2.Locate individuals who could be good sources. Interview them.

Think about individuals who may have interesting things to say about your topic and who can offer an expert opinion on your topic. Use a recorder and take notes during the interview, as recorders can fail. 


3.Create an article outline. Plan your writing.

Read the information you collected during the research period and organize the subtopics and organize the main ideas.


4.Start writing. Use a hook first line.

A strong magazine article will draw the reader and hook them from the first line. The fist paragraph is considered to be the most important in the entire article.
5.Develop your ideas.

Write subtitles that will help the reader follow the text easily. Use paragraphs to organize the main points of the research.


5. End on a strong concluding statement that illuminates or expands on your article topic.


You should try to end your first draft with a concluding statement that leaves the reader satisfied but also curious about further developments on the topic. Go for an ending that leaves the reader asking, “what next?” and do not try to answer all the questions raised by your article topic. Instead, look for ways to wrap up the article in an interesting, open ended way.


6. Revise the article.

Check your spelling, verb tense, use of connectors and ask other to read your piece, so they can give you  suggestions on how to improve or to make it more interesting.


7. Publish.

Paraphrasing and summarizing are different ways of incorporating other writers’ work into our own writing


--> Paraphrasing is when you put the ideas of another author into your own words. To avoid plagiarism when paraphrasing, it is essential that you do not include too many words from the original text.



--> Summarizing is when you use your own words to draw out the key points or main arguments of the original text, significantly reducing its length.


Why do we use paraphrasing and summarizing?

Writers frequently intertwine summaries, paraphrases, and quotations. As part of a summary of an article, a chapter, or a book, a writer might include paraphrases of various key points blended with quotations of striking or suggestive phrases.


How do we use paraphrases, and summaries?

  • Read the entire text, noting the key points and main ideas.
  • Summarize in your own words what the single main idea of the essay is.
  • Paraphrase important supporting points that come up in the essay.
  • Consider any words, phrases, or brief passages that you believe should be quoted directly.
