Magazine Writing Tips For Freelancers

by vgevge

As the magazine industry is so widespread and growing, writing
for magazines can be a rewarding and profitable venture.
Moreover, with the growth of Internet technology, magazines find
it preferable to use freelancers over the internet, rather than
full time employees in an office. Office employees require
various benefits and workspace, so unless it is absolutely
necessary, freelancers can be a savings. Freelancers can be
selected according to topics of interest and variety of writing
styles. Writing for magazines is a good career, just keep in mind
that it requires patience and ingenuity.

To take advantage of this freelance opportunity, all those who
are interested can find these tips useful:

Query magazines: First you need to find out publications that
would want the type of articles that you are writing. Once this
is done find out what these magazines want in particular. Find
what type of articles they expect - short articles, personal
stories, academic and researched articles, or if they need it for
a specific target audience like for parents or kids. You could
enquire about their guidelines, their do's and dont's for
freelancers. Sometimes they may in turn request you to mention
specifics, like your expertise, your targeted word count, and so
on.

Write to your strengths: Often writers will already be into
certain areas of expertise. It is advisable and easier to write
on what you enjoy writing about, according to your skills,
background and knowledge base. Identify your forte and then start
writing articles for the appropriate magazines. Many magazines
publish articles on specific areas like science and engineering,
photography, history related, home decor and so on.

Professionalism: Often many aspiring writers are willing to
write at lower prices. Others do it as a hobby along with some
other sources of income. You should present yourself as organized
and efficient, but charge appropriately.

Communicate with the editors: Good writers make it a habit to
communicate with the editors. In case you have a question about
the article, you should have it clarified with the editor. Also,
if the editor has anything to communicate to you, make sure that
you contact him in a professional manner. Even if there is some
issue relating to the deadline, it is better to tell the editor
about it. The professionalism in your communication can be
helpful for future assignments.

Research, follow guidelines, outline, write, revise and submit:
Once you get an approval from the publisher, follow your normal
writing procedure. Carry out necessary research on the subject,
find out the factual details and countercheck them. Make an
outline of the content on the subject. Based on the outline,
write the article keeping in mind the guidelines and read it
thoroughly before you submit.

While writing, make sure the guidelines about the word count and
the usage of keywords are strictly followed. Be prepared to
rewrite if necessary. Whatever guidelines that were given by the
publisher need to be followed.
