Voice From The Other Side: Tips For Editors

30 freelancers sound off on rules they'd wish their editors would follow

By Jenny Rough – June 12, 2007

Despite the fact that I held a JD and had five years legal experience under my belt, when it came to journalism I was as green as a baby tree frog. I wasn't sure how to craft a query, didn't understand pitching protocol, and had never heard terms like "galley," "FOB," or "masthead," not to mention I was without a single industry contact.
