Product Description
Pick up the Sunday paper and consider how many stories it takes to fill all those pages. How can any newspaper staff produce so many stories every day, every week, every month of the year and keep up with breaking news, too? They can’t. They use freelancers.This book serves as a guide to newspaper freelancing both for beginners and for more experienced writers who want to expand their markets.

Sue Fagalde Lick's FREELANCING FOR NEWSPAPERS: WRITING FOR AN OVERLOOKED MARKET is a winner: it shows how to locate newspapers which use freelancers (as opposed to many who only use staff), how to pitch an editor for a story idea, how to interview and gain assignments, and more. Students of media studies and journalism will find it the perfect starting point for breaking into a notoriously difficult industry.
A solid guide to writing for newspapers August 14, 2007

I remember looking in bookstores many years back and being surprised that I could never find a book about freelancing for newspapers. This is just the book I was looking for back then, and I'm glad I have it now. It's a well written, well organized book that sparked my thoughts and made me see writing opportunities I hadn't really considered before. It includes quotes from newspaper editors about what they're looking for, an analysis of which types of articles are usually written by freelancers, a guide to queries (with good examples written by the author), advice about how to conduct interviews and do research, a submission tracking sheet... in short, it's an excellent primer about both the craft and business end of freelancing for newspapers, and well worth the price. My single complaint is that it could have used a better copy editor, but I still highly recommend it.
