My Freelance Article Writing Course is in full swing. The first lecture and lesson was presented yesterday. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s not too late to join in. http:\/\/www.matilijapress.com\/course_magarticles.htm<\/a> <\/p>\n

One student asked about finding online writing work, so I did some research and came up with a few resources for online writing as well as print magazine writing. They are listed below. I also suggested that she locate additional opportunities by doing a Google search. (I always like to empower my students and clients by giving them the tools to do their own research, editing, etc.)<\/p>\n

In order to pursue a successful Google search for writing opportunities on the web, use keywords such as, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153web writing jobs\u00e2\u20ac\u009d \u00e2\u20ac\u0153writing for the web\u00e2\u20ac\u009d \u00e2\u20ac\u0153paying web jobs\u00e2\u20ac\u009d \u00e2\u20ac\u0153directory of freelance web writing jobs,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d and so forth. <\/p>\n

In the meantime, here are some sites that list jobs for freelance writers. Most of them include web and other online writing work as well as jobs for print publications.<\/p>\n

\n(I reported this in the May edition of the SPAWN Market Update<\/em>. When I visited their site 2 weeks ago, they listed 120 jobs for writers. It’s FREE.<\/p>\n

Wooden Horse Publications has a database of paying markets for print magazines. You can take a peek at the database for $1.99 (for 24 hours). They also offer entry for 7 days, 30 days, 6 months and a year. The annual fee is $149.00. Wooden Horse does something few sites do, they provide editorial calendars for many of their listings.

Barbara Florio Graham of Simon Teakettle, just completed a workshop in Canada on
