"The magazine about creative writing and the writers who write it is filled with freelancers," writes Kevin Smokler about breaking into Poets & Writers. Not only are there places for you to break into, but this is a great publication for making connections and learning more about the industry. Sections like "News & Trends", "The Literary Life" and "The Practical Writer" are good for freelancers. Stay away from covering genre writers and screenwriters. Do not pitch by phone.
