The key to selling reprints to parenting publications is the creation of dynamite ideas followed through with professional writing. Here, I'm focusing only on finding those lucrative topics.Most topics in regional parenting publications are straightforward: finance, parenting tips, health, sports, and education. The trick is to twist them in an unusual way. If you're a parent, what do you wish you knew about a topic? Write down questions that you have as you go through the day.

I wondered, "What can parents do to encourage good driving?" If you already know the answer to the question, it won't make a good article unless you're an expert on the subject. Take a generic topic and make it seasonal. ...
