Freelance Writing Opportunities - podcast

The market is tough for freelance magazine writers. Author Meredith Maran discusses the market for freelance magazine writers, how it has changed in the past five years. She also offers tips on how to get started in the freelance market. To get started as a freelance magazine writer, start at small and just focus on getting a published clip. Write for a local weekly publication, and then move up from there. Different freelance jobs have different requirements. Writing a feature piece in a magazine requires more time, research, and travel. Other projects to consider that are less demanding, are book reviews and essays.

Thank you, Meredith Maran, I forgot that I am a writer, though publishing a book of quotes, I do have the professional ability to utilize and break into other forms/formats of writing. Now I will look into freelance writing, not only for income, but for learning and exercising/developing my writers' skill. Glad I came to the Author Learning Center today.
