[quote=Anonymous]Writing as an English major and writing in a journalistic way are very different. Have you written for newspapers or blogs, or only academic-like papers? It matters. I've written for newspapers for 20 years and I have my freelance clients, but it's not the easiest thing to break into writing about parenting, travel, etc. It's hard to make big money. There are an awful lot of people doing it. Top-notch publications will want to see that you've written for other top-notch publications. They also like to be pitched. Some of the other PPs gave very good advice and resources. I would start there. GL [/quote]
