For over 20 years Linda Formichelli and Diana Burrell have written for top magazines and newspapers you can find on every newsstand including , , and dozens more. They pitch magazines they've never read, call editors to pitch ideas, research extensively before they even get an assignment, and usually follow their own inclinations rather than the official directions. They've negotiated for more money and better terms without risking their careers, learned that editors are not the writer-gobbling monsters many freelancers fear, and established long-term relationships with editors at top publications. And in , they share all their tips and tricks so you, too, can become the go-to writer editors love. When the first edition of was published in 2003, it helped thousands of magazine writers around the world find more (and better) ideas, break into new (or tough) markets, research and write their articles with more efficiency, and get paid more money...and showed them that the freelance life can be extremely profitable when they use their brains instead of tired-old rules. This third edition, which has been an Amazon best-seller in the journalism category, includes new "rules" that freelancers can break, updates on the featured writers from our second edition, and new Q&As with successful rule-busting writers. -- Savvy Writer "MJ", Verified Purchase --Jennifer, Verified Purchase -- Darrelle, Verified Purchase --Mrs. T.
