Tue, 15 May 2012 00:28:50 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Laurie PK http://theadventurouswriter.com/blogwriting/7-tips-for-writing-for-trade-magazines/comment-page-1/#comment-3131 Laurie PK Thu, 10 Dec 2009 21:39:15 +0000 http://theadventurouswriter.com/blogwriting/?p=869#comment-3131 Thanks for this, Stan. Funny, last I met one of the editors who was on the panel I mentioned in the article above. He has an article idea that he wants to assign me, for his trade magazine! So, fellow scribes, keep meeting people and talking about your freelance writing career...you never know who may hire you :-) And -- always keep your business cards handy!

It is so important to gather the tone of the pub as well as a solid feel for the type of article that fits. I got my start in trade journals for EMS. It literally boosted my writing career with the side benefit of landing me presenter gigs at national conferences and the like.
