Back in the days before I discovered I could be paid to
write for online sites, I used to write for a variety of print
publications. By print publications I mean magazines, newsletters and
books.
Some of the print publications I have had articles published in include
Jewelry Crafts, Lapidary Journal, Beadwork, The Herb Quarterly, The
Farmer's Almanac and BackHome Magazine.
I've also had a variety of articles published in various Llewellyn
Worldwide publications including their yearly Herbal Almanac, Magical
Almanac, Witches' Datebook and Witches' Calendar.
In future posts I will detail my experiences writing freelance articles for some of these publications.
In the meantime, check out the Magazine Guidelines Database over on the Freelance Writing website. This database contains writer's guidelines and contact information for over 750 magazines.
Take care,
