This year I’ve been writing regularly for two local weekly papers (I’ve had over 70 articles printed). I want to branch out though, so I’ve been writing and querying.
The hard part is finding people who will pay decent money. I haven’t heard back on one article, but did get a positive response from an editor. While I don’t mind doing the revisions, and I welcome the byline, it’s frustrating to be earning $15-25 per piece. Sigh.
I’m gonna stick with it, though. There are thousands of periodicals I haven’t researched yet, and I know there are ways out there to make money. I’m just thankful that, in the meantime, I’m married to a man who can support us while I’m looking.
Off to revise again…
