Would you like to break into freelance writing? And if so, how do you pitch the editors of big-name publications? I was a freelance writer and journalist before I set up Become a Writer Today. It was a challenging profession. I studied journalism in college for a few years, and when I graduated, I struggled to find any work at all. It was only when I specialized in a particular niche that I was able to start finding regular commissions. And even then, I found it quite difficult to pay the bills as a freelance writer. If you're looking to get into freelance writing, my tip is to spend some time each week or every other week pitching for new clients and finding additional work, even if you have enough work in the queue.This week's interviewee, Rebecca Weber, has written for several prestigious publications, including CNN, Forbes, and The Guardian. She's an expert at pitching high-profile editors. In this week's interview, she goes through her five-step process, which you should use to pitch an editor for a publication. I wish I'd known about this five-step process as a freelance journalist. It would have saved me a lot of time and heartache.In this episode, we discuss the following:The importance of researching before you pitchConsidering your unique angleKeeping abreast of trendsResources:Rebecca's WebsiteSupport the showIf you enjoyed the show please leave a review on Apple.

The work you're doing now will tend to lead to similar work moving forward. Similar pay, topics, structures, publications, clients, etc. All of these tend to replicate if you're not intentionally making changes and steering yourself in a new direction. You also have the possibility of continually building upon what you did last quarter or last year. This can be the thing that leads to feeling invigorated, interested, and engaged with your clients in creating something new and better than what you've done before. When your clients needs evolve, you can evolve along with them.

This episode's guest is writer, coach and podcaster Rebecca L. Weber. Born and raised in Boston, Rebecca takes us along on her journey from the US to South Africa, and from teaching to journalism to teaching writers to build freelance businesses, and coaching those new to writing on their way to becoming freelancers. Like many freelance writers, Rebecca wrote a newsletter, but it only really started making sense when she converted it into The Writing Coach Podcast. Through podcasting, she gets more feedback from those needing her coaching, and she can form a clearer idea of which issues need to be addressed right now, as freelancers learn to adapt to the ever-changing digital world. As a fellow digital comms trainer, I'm with Rebecca - us freelancers have to stay open to continual training. -- How has your industry moved from analogue to digital? Each episode, creative guests tell host Suchandrika Chakrabarti how the internet has revolutionised work.
