Feeling a little crowded?

As newspapers and magazines continue to lay off writers, expect to find the competition heating up in your favorite freelance writing field.

This interactive maps shows the 2008 total: 12,695+ jobs lost to date.

Keep writing, and keep learning.

The primary reason I created Sell Your Writing Online NOW (SYWON) was to ensure that subscribers will have a constantly increasing income, no matter what the competition.
