Writer's Market and writer's forums are still some of the best tools available for finding freelance jobs. There is no substitute for pounding the pavement, even if it's cyber-pavement. :) Thanks for an honest straightforward post. Great tips!

You can find great titles and get inspired. But remember, that doesn't mean you're ready to pitch them. One issue of a magazine, or even writer guidelines (which are often outdated), or a WM listing (ditto), can't prepare you for a decent query. You need to look at the archives. You need to find the name and e-mail address of the exact editor to pitch. It's also smart to check out the publication's media kit for demographic info and other clues.

It's a market listing just like writer's market but it includes some pretty obscure magazines and a lot of literary and collegiate magazines/journals. Sometimes I just Google "editorial guidelines" or "submission guidelines" and I've found a few markets that way. Mediabistro.com has some listings as well. I just signed up with wordhustler.com.

It's a bit naughty but I do spend quite a bit of time reading through the magazines in a large newsagent chain. I wouldn't do this in a small newsagent though, as I'd probably get thrown out. The online version of Writers Market is definitely worth the small subscription though. I like that it also allows you to track submissions. Hi Deb – These are great tips.

I was in there on Monday and a group of writers was sitting having a discussion group giving feedback and input about their writing. It might mean a learning curve if you are new to Second life. It was a lot of fun. I checked out Second Life for writing ops. I was in there on Monday and a group of writers was sitting having a discussion group giving feedback and input about their writing.
