Freelance Writing Markets, Poetry Markets - Highly Paid -v-
Unpaid by AskProfessors.com
Amazing as it may sound, there is a real shortage of good
writers and poets. Try telling that to the thousands of writers
and poets who get daily rejection slips.
As far as they are concerned, writing is virtually impossible to
break into no matter how hard they seem to try.
There may be a number of reasons why they don't succeed:
Their writing is not up to standard - as far as the particular
publishers or editors are concerned;
They don't bother polishing their writing before submission;
They knock on the wrong doors - sending materials on a random
basis;
They have failed to do basic research;
The list goes on.
1000s of publishers
There are of course thousands of publishers, especially online,
who are willing to publish anything that you send them. Such
publishers don't pay writers or poets. They expect that writers
and poets should be grateful just to get published. That is
reward enough.
Professional writers on the other hand command handsome fees.
They make a good living out of writing.
Anyone can become a professional writer. You just need the
determination to succeed. If you don't have a natural gift, you
can learn to write well. This can be by self-study, online, or
at a college or school near you.
High quality professional writers demand anything from $1000 to
$5000 per project - and the best earn substantially more. A
project may involve just one page or a few poems.
Why do most aspiring writers and aspiring poets fail?
In a recent survey conducted on behalf of
http://www.WritingHolidays.com, it became apparent that most
writers and poets were not willing to invest time or effort in
training or acquiring the necessary skills.
The survey revealed that most writers and poets were happy to
plod along by trial and error rather than investing in a decent
course. They accordingly fail to reap the rewards that are there
for the taking.
They remain amateur writers and poets whilst their professional
colleagues cream off the best paid writing markets.
The survey compared writers and poets to other professions.
Lawyers, Accountants, Doctors, etc., are all highly paid. They
all undergo training before the rewards are forthcoming. Yet,
most writers and poets believe that the riches will come to them
without spending $1 on training or developing skills.
One per cent. of writers or poets may get lucky. They may have
been "born writers or poets" - they succeed without any
training. The rest slog away - hoping that one day they may make
some money from writing.
The good news
The good news is that there are 1000s of paid writing markets
that are waiting to be exploited. There are more assignments
than writers or poets.
