There is a whole world of potential clients for freelancers to tap beyond newspapers, general interest science and health magazines, women’s magazines and other traditional consumer publications. Trade groups publish magazines for members, companies for customers and universities for alums. Media conglomerates may have a stable of specialized publications targeting various professional groups.
Many are looking for talented freelance writers to fill out the pages, whether digital or print. In this AHCJ webinar, freelance members will learn where to find niche publications and the pros and cons of working for them. They will get advice on pitching and introducing themselves to editors.
