Boy that sounded pretty worthless to me as I keyed it in.

Anyhow, one of the guys I went to highschool with got into this and it was a very cynical business. He made up a lot of the technical stuff about his equipment in order to make it sound more impressive (in the descriptions of how his pics were taken). He used one of my pictures in one of his pieces and gave me something like $20 for it (and claimed credit for it himself - it was fine with me, and I knew in advance that's what he wanted).

The hardest part, since he had a mess of pictures, was to come up with some kind of narrative to put into a story. It sounds like you've got an outline and a collection of pix.

I would hope that the specialty magazine business is less cynical than it was in those days. Magazines will give you the guidlines of what they want in a story submission, and what they pay for them.

My buddy eventually became an advertising photographer, specializing in photographs of food.
