Free Lance Writer Jobs

Mara recently wrote about post about the variety of short term writing jobs that are out there; as well as how one can go about pursuing a job as a "freelance writer." It was interesting but I disagree with her; With the end of newspapers and tangible periodicals on the horizon I estimate that being a writer will be harder than ever. Here's the post.

A left a short comment:

"Firstly, I didn’t know freelance writers existed before this post. Seems like a pretty desirable career if you can make it work, but it also seems pretty damn hard to make it work. IT would be hard to get hired , one would be constantly seeking new jobs and income would be inconsistent and often non-existent. With the rapid growth and influence of the internet more writing jobs will become available. Although, It is also very important consider the fact that print jobs are disappearing. Newspapers and many periodicals are going under as profit margins disappear. What will those professional writers do? Start writing on the internet? The job market for writers is going through drastic changes and it will be interesting to follow over the coming years.

Looking forward to your future posts about where to find paying freelance writing jobs.
