Welcome to the second instalment of our Friday Writing Market. This week’s focus is on a market that you’ve possibly overlooked in your eagerness to get to the glossies - Regional and Local publications.
Writing for your local paper or magazine can often be the first step into becoming a published (and paid) writer. Being a local writer can land you more assignments than you think. The same degree of professionalism and quality is to be expected however - irrespective of what publication you write for. Show the editor that you can deliver well written copy on time, every time and you’re bound to get more assignments.
Writing for local publications can be a great way to build clips and gain experience.
If you’d like to explore the possibilities a bit more, here are some articles to get you going:
