As a writer still working on landing my first paying gig, this is outstanding advice and it's a great encouragement. The information about cover letters and what to do about an empty resume is especially good. I know my spleen always quivers a little when I see, "Send clips from a trade publication," or, "Send resume". Will definitely be linking to this on Fishing with Crossbows, hehe : )b Thank you so much for writing this, Deb!

It's a funny story how I stumbled into this field: I was one week out of college with a journalism degree and applied for a random Craig's list post with an old term paper. When I got the job, I wasn't even sure if it was a scam or not. The first paycheck came and then away I went trying to write for a living. Totally agree on the "just do it" idea. hi, I’ve been reading this website for a few weeks now and have been freelancing for over a year.
