**********************************
Guidelines for Contributing:
If you are a full-time,
freelance creative professional (eg, writer, copy editor, graphic designer,
etc.), we'd like to know how you did it. We seek essays/success
stories that outline such particulars as:
1. What you do?
Eg, are you a copy editor, graphic designer, writer, etc.
2. Your Background:
How many years of experience do you have in your area of expertise.
3. Reason for Freelancing:
Why did you decide to go out on your own.
4. How you did it?
This is perhaps the most important. How you built your client list; how long
it took before you were able to successfully sustain yourself fully from
your freelance earnings, etc.
All the above must be
included, along with any other particulars you'd like to add: eg, advice
to those starting out, what NOT to do, failures you experienced, what made
you hang in there, how you set fees, etc.
Length:
Can be as in-depth as you like (as long as the first four points are
covered).
What we look for: Humor, insight and little-known facts required to
successfully go about freelancing.
P
lease
Note: We look for detailed specifics. The reader should come away
with a “nugget or two of specific wisdom (not generalities)” on how to go
about achieving freelance success. If an account is too brief, too general
in nature, too lacking in specifics and/or doesn’t address all questions in
the guidelines, we will usually decline to publish that submission.
Resource Box:
Feel free to include a generous resource box advertising your
product/service at the end of the submission.
Rights:
We ask for first, exclusive rights for 90 days. Must be original; no
reprints please. By submitting, you accept and agree to these terms.
NOTE:
If you do not freelance full-time, please do not submit, as we are only
interested in submissions from those who make their living completely from
freelancing.
Pay:
$25 – if we publish your submission. We pay via PayPal, so you must
be able to accept payment via this method. We pay on the day we publish
and respond to all entries within one week, even if we decline to
publish it.
