How to
Write Newspaper or
Magazine Article Query
Letters
You can earn a full-time or part-time income writing for newspapers and
magazines on a freelance basis. However, there is a process you need to
follow if you want to write for newspapers or
magazine. To become a freelance writer, you need to
- develop
article ideas
- identify editors at appropriate publications
- write
stellar query letters that sell your idea and sell you as the person to
write the article
- submit and follow-up on your query letter in a timely
manner.
This e-course will help you develop article ideas and write
query letters based on samples in the Business of Freelance Writing:
How to Develop Article Ideas and Sell Them to Newspapers and Magazines.
Before sending the queries to editors, you'll email three of them to
Paul for assessment and detailed, constructive feedback. The course
also includes information on how to submit and follow-up on your
queries.
