In the second in our new series walking through the construction of different types of articles, we hone in on the easy-to-write (and pitch!) staple of magazines everywhere: the front-of-book round-up.

We'll walk through a part of the writing process--structuring your articles--that should come before your fingers hit the keyboard and before you even begin researching your piece to show you how to quit second-guessing yourself and save tremendous time on your articles.

We will cover:
- What do we mean when we say round-up
- Types of articles that exist as round-ups in a front-of-book setting
- The typical FOB round-up structure
- In depth look at specific examples of FOB round-ups from the wild
- How to pitch these pieces
