Do magazines such as Sugar, Shout and Mizz look for writers to write articles?
I believe they do, though they’ll usually commission an article from an established writer or they often reprint articles that have appeared elsewhere. The best way to find out would be to write to the magazines themselves. It’s highly competitive, this kind of thing, so you need to establish yourself as a lifestyle writer. If I was going to try to do that (I wouldn’t, I’m not clever enough, but you probably are) I’d start a blog and spam boards like YA with questions/comments about the blog’s details to try to generate visitors. You’d be able to show this blog to people as a sample of your work and occasionally blogs become extremely popular and the blog writer comes to the attention of people like the editor of Sugar. It’s all about getting your foot in the door, though it might be very hard for you to afford this I’m kind of sure that many budding writers get their first shot at this type of work by doing unpaid internships at magazines like the ones you’ve written about. So again,
