MediaBistro
Hello! This blog has been featured this morning on MediaBistro- so, I just wanted to say hello to everyone who stopped by, clicking on the link from mb. Thanks for visiting. I've received some feedback on this project via comment and e-mail. THANK YOU! It's nice to have the support of fellow freelancers.
If anyone has any advice or tips or success stories, feel free to share either as a comment here or e-mail to me from my profile page. There are just so many stories to tell, so many great writers out there and lots of great places to be published. I guess it just all comes down to the right combination of those three! Thanks again for visiting my blog. As I get accepted, I plan to post entries as "Success Stories." So, here's to getting one of those soon.
Cheers,
Donna

Network, network, network. The only reason I think I was able to even get a foot in the door at the Washington Post, was because I knew someone who knew someone who said I could say that they told me to call the editor! They took it on spec, but I figured it would be worth it. And even today, I find that most of the work I get is through some sort of contact v. cold queries.
YOU CAN DO IT!

Thank you! I love your enthusiasm! Bloomsburg is not far from me at all. Got to love the fair! I live near the Columbia County line border, actually.
i began freelancing part time not too long ago. more than networking, more than anything else (assuming you can write), you need a good idea. then you need to tailor that idea to the publication. media bistro rocks with its HTPs!
Love your stick-to-it-iveness! I try to meet a personal goal of sending out 5 things a week -- queries, essays, letter to ed, reprints -- anything just to keep going and generating feedback.
Yet I have to agree also with punditmom (above comment)....about networking and contacts....something you will no doubt perfect once when your feet hit the concrete in Manhattan this fall. Good luck.
