Markets
I've discovered World Wide Freelance is a good place to find markets.
Their free market listings have guidelines for 500 magazines.
Their Markets Plus listings offer 1,700 magazine markets for a $1.25 monthly fee.
I encourage you to check them out.

Writing for Magazines
Another way you can earn income as a freelance writer is by writing for magazines.
Some magazines have their guidelines posted on-line. Absolute Write is one good place to check for magazine guidelines.
The Writer's Market, which is published every fall contains thousands of submission guidelines for magazines. It also tells you exactly where to send your query and/or article and to whom you should address it. You can pick the Writer's Market up at any Barnes and Nobles, Borders, or on Amazon.
Later on this month I'll provide some information and resources on how to write query letters.
Until then, happy writing!

Don't give up!
Freelance writing requires persistence and lots of it! For new writers, it is discouraging to be rejected by potential clients, to have your queries rejected, or otherwise be turned down for a writing job. For experienced writers, rejection is still difficult. In these times of discouragement it is easy to get down or to beat yourself up.
But what is required is persistence. Writing requires you pick yourself back up, go out, and find another job to apply for, send another query, and keep looking for potential clients.
The Internet offers so many places to find freelance work.
One of the best resources for freelance writers (in my opinion) is Deb Ng's Freelance Writing Jobs blog. Nearly every weekday she posts new job leads to her site. Not only does this offer writers hope, it makes it easier for writers to find and get more work!
Be persistent this week, whether you receive rejection letters or acceptance letters.
