GET PAID TO WRITE: Freelancing for Magazines, Web Sites and Other Markets

You've probably read an article and thought, "I could have written that." Well, you can. Magazines, web sites, and other markets need freelance writers — you can be one of them! This workshop shows you how to find ideas, locate paying markets and approach editors.

If you'd like to increase your chances of getting published, this workshop is for you. You'll learn how to understand the marketplace, identify markets for your idea, and approach editors. We'll consider query letters versus unsolicited articles, and print versus electronic submissions. We'll also discuss sidebars and photos; selling and reselling your work; plus rights, contracts and negotiations.

After covering these essentials, we'll go wherever your questions take us. By the end of the workshop, you'll have information you can use right away — the basics you need to become a successful freelance writer.
