Once you feel you have a solid first draft, you should contact the editor of the publication that has accepted your pitch and send her the draft. Ask her to give you feedback on specific sections of the article and to tell you if you are clearly defining the overall angle of the article. Having a conversation about the article with your editor can offer you a set of professional eyes who can make sure the article fits within the writing style of the publication and reaches its best possible draft. You should be open to editor feedback and work with your editor to improve the draft of the article. You may also want to give the article to a peer, such as a fellow writer, to get feedback from them as well, especially if you are struggling with a particular section or line in the article. Applying feedback from your editor and from your peers can help your article reach its strongest draft in terms of content, flow, structure, and tone. You should also get a copy of the publication’s style sheet or contributors guidelines and make sure the article follows these rules and guidelines. Your article should adhere to these guidelines to ensure it is ready for publication by your deadline. A good magazine article will flow well, with good transitions between paragraphs and good sentence structure. Try reading the article out loud to yourself or to a sympathetic audience. Note if any of the sentence structure sounds awkward or wordy. Be willing to removing or reworking large chunks of text so that the article flows and you have strong sentence structure throughout the article. Make sure you hit your deadline and turn in the article on time, especially if you are turning in your first article for the publication. If possible, turn the article in early to impress the editor and show you can meet deadlines for future articles for the publication. Most publications accept electronic submissions of articles. Talk with your editor to determine the best way to submit the revised article.

Summary:
Discuss the article with your editor. Apply editor and peer feedback to the article. Revise the article for flow and structure. Turn in the revised article by the deadline.
