Tips for Starting Out As a Freelancer.
Hi everyone! Great to be apart of this group. Hope all is well.
I was wondering if any of you experienced or established freelancers can give me some advice on freelancing.
Where is a good place to begin? How should I start?
Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks :)

Hi, Candice,
A former student sent me this excellent question: "My only noteworthy publications are two essays in (large regional daily) and a poem in (significant local writing competition). The rest are obscure magazines, journals and anthologies. When I write my cover letters for submission, do I just list more noteworthy achievements or do I include everything, the lesser known publications as well?"
SHORT ANSWER:
"My works has appeared in (large regional daily), (significant local writing competition series), and elsewhere."
If you know your magazine—which you should, before submitting—and you know your editor—ditto—you could add one or two more credits that you know will resonate.
LONG ANSWER: Know your magazine and your editor. You can read more on my most recent blog post: http://wp.me/psSjA-RJ
Thanks, and good luck!
