I’m in! Nina, we are in similar places in terms of our writing experience. I am trying to break OUT of the corporate world, though! Trying to go for magazine articles.

Here are my top three I am going to focus on:

1. Working Mother
2. Family Fun
3. The Comics Journal

Hello,

I also have been writing for the web. Nothing spectacular, just enough to buy some groceries and gas. I am looking to break into print. I believe a good resource is ” A writer’s guide to getting published in magazines”. By J.J. Despain. This book is a great tool, and actually helped me with article structure! I am looking to break into the corporate world, so most of the magazines I will want to write for will be Trade Journals. But I also want to do my side projects. So here goes my top three:

1. Body & Soul Magazine
2. Hotelier
3. Sante Magazine

I’m really excited about this challenge and definitely want to participate. I really want to build my fiction presence, but I will focus on non-fiction for the time being. I have clips in my local newspaper, but do want to expand.

Target Publications:
*France Today
*Skylights
*Travel + Leisure

I’ve been a carpenter most of my life. Because of injuries and the bad economy it’s high time I become a full-time freelance writer. I do have clips in national magazines, newspapers, and a web presence. But, all of my writing is for the construction/diy market. My plan is to expand my repertoire and perceived expertise so I can write for mainstream consumer publications like Men’s Health, Esquire, and The New Yorker.

Count me in! I’m going to target smaller print magazines, because I’m also new to freelancing.

You read my mind also. I am new to freelancing and have also only been published online. My goal for next year is to get published in a print publication. I had planned on doing this challenge myself before the holidays and am even more excited to do it with a group. Since I’m new to print, I’m going to target smaller magazines for this go around so that I can get some clips and experience. So, count me in!!
