While working on client assignments, getting attached to large companies to take care of all their documentation and communication needs, or, working on a book may be the mainstay of a freelancer’s life, all writers have a dream : to see their bylines on newspaper and magazine articles. But getting a berth in these publications is not easy; each has its own inhouse editorial staff, apart from tried and tested freelance loyalists whom editors would not let go under any circumstances. Moreover, space is too much of a constraint to make busy editors want to even try out debutante writers. So, how do you gain an entry, and what is the right pitch to sell yourself to established newspapers and magazines? We are inviting writers to send us their responses to this crucial question that keeps plaguing many writers till they gain a firm foothold. Please post your responses in the ‘Leave a Comment’ form below.
