@ Red: Two really great books to check out: Six Figure Freelance, and the Writer’s Digest Guide to Magazine Article Writing. Got me started on the right foot. I understand how you feel about your degree, but remember that everything – especially college – is a learning experience, so it couldn’t have all been for nothing. But about the debt, sheesh, you’re telling me, can’t blame you for feeling that way at least a little.

Keep trucking and make your success as you see it; it’s a competitive field, work hard, and you’ll do well! It’s a great deal of effort, but success is directly proportional to effort, and I think the writing world rewards you well if you hone your craft and work hard. And in my opinion, it’s one of the most versatile degrees to have, I’m sure you’ll find a great way to use it!

@ Karen: Just like in the brick and mortar world, any candidate that misses the deadline has blown the interview.

Hey everyone! i’m new to the world of writing (as well as to this website). I just graduated with a degree in communication with concentrations in documentary video production and digital journalism. While the doc concentration was fantastic, the digital journalism was awful and I didn’t learn ANYTHING! Now I’m struggling to learn, on my own, what it takes to be a writer (which wouldn’t be so bad if I wasn’t thousands of dollars in debt for nothing).

This website is really amazing and I check it every day. Thank you so, so, so much for taking the time to help out other writers.

Heidi,

I applied to the “movie experts” earlier also and never heard back. With this second more detailed ad, I am inclined to believe they are fishing for free material to get their site started. I have just sent them an email asking their company name and url. I’ll let everyone know if I get a reply.

@Jodee – Maybe they all forgot? Is the contest extended if they forget?
