Advice for aspiring magazine writers? - Rita W - 01-28-2013 01:38 AM
I'd like to start writing non fiction for children's magazines. I am educated and can write at a college level but I don't have any professional experience. How do you tap into this market? Any advice on where to start?
Obviously I wouldn't write something for a child at college level. I just meant that as what expereince I have so far. College papers ets.

First off if you are writing for children - don't write at a college level :-)
Start be seeing if you can write guest posts for blogs that target children and their parents. Or better yet, start your own blog - if you have a year's worth of good writing via all your blog posts that good websites link to then I would consider that "professional" experience to show off to prospective employers.
Start networking on Twitter there are a ton of writers on there.
