No publication is too fancy for you. Editors need your stories, so start pitching.
How do you get a byline and the interest of the editors in a publication you love? Let’s hear some tips from my guest, Amber Petty!
So many writers think that pitching name publications is something they can only do after years of experience. Not true! Lots of Amber’s students started with no samples and had exciting bylines in months. Since our nurse writers have expertise in medicine and health, their chances are even better! They have the expertise the editors are looking for and adding editorial work to client work will only elevate their status (and help them make money between contracts).
