It’s a mystery to me why new writers still want to get into magazine writing. I get email messages every week asking about improving queries etc.

Please - if you’re NEW to writing, stop looking at magazine markets. Yes, you can make money writing for magazines, especially trade magazines. But it’s a hard business, and unless you’re very lucky getting an on-going gig writing for any magazine is hard work. All established magazines have a stable of writers who write for them already. Unless you can come up with something new, that they NEED and can’t do in-house, you’re out of luck.

New writers don’t know that the Web is where the fast, easy (I’m not kidding) money is. If you can type (yes, I said TYPE) you can write for the Web. If you’re a good writer, the Web provides more highly-paid opportunities than you have the time for in a dozen lifetimes.

So learn how to write for the Web. I’ve written an ebook to help you to do it, so read the book, and get started. A whole new world will open for you.
