Start with topics that you know the most about
Writing for print is what people generally think of when they hear the term ìfreelance writer. Wahm writers who write for the print markets need to first build a reputation as reliable and eloquent writer. If you've never written for the print markets before, start with smaller, local publications and then work from there. You'll need to find a list of publications that are accepting ìqueries.î Queries are a combination of a letter of introduction and a pitch for a story idea. Most writers rely on the Writer's Market reference guide for lists of publications. The Writer's Market has comprehensive information on a variety of newsletters, magazines and other publications that are taking queries. Start with topics that you know the most about and try writing a few queries to get yourself going in the print market.
