10 Reasons to Subscribe to Freelance Success

  1. In-Depth Market Guides. Juicy reports that point writers toward publications that not only pay about $1 a word but also welcome new contributors. Learn what key editors want and don't want—in detail and right now—plus phone numbers, email addresses, the best way to get a response and what publishers' contracts demand.
  2. Market Tips. Not every market pays $1 a word, but some are worth considering anyway, Here's where we tell you about publications that offer regular assignments, quick turnaround, simple topics, or buy reprints.
  3. Market News. New editors. New publications. New opportunities. We ferret them out and pass them along.
  4. The Circular File. Some publications probably aren't worth it. We warn you when we've investigated and discovered that the rates are unforgivably low, the editor isn't interested in freelance queries or the contract makes us nervous.
  5. Business Advice. Freelance Success won't tell you how to start your freelance business, but we do offer ways to accelerate it, market it, and keep it running efficiently.
  6. Free Access to a Database of Past Issues. Our back issues are full of insider advice that's still useful months—even years later. Before approaching a new market, subscribers can check it out.
  7. All-Business Bulletin Board. The Freelance Success Forum is limited to subscribers only. That means no flames, no anonymous postings— none of the things that make most discussion lists irritating. The conversation here is focused on the business of freelance writing, the participants are pros and very friendly.
  8. Subscriber Database. Our optional subscriber database is available free to editors, and we let them know it. It's a great marketing tool and a listing there comes with a subscription.
  9. Classes. The Freelance Success Institute offers classes in nonfiction writing and editing topics that make sense for anyone interested in expanding into new, lucrative areas like health, travel and trade magazines. Subscribers get a discount off tuition that's already very reasonable.
  10. Camaraderie. When you're looking for somebody who understands or who can help with a special challenge or when you just want to share—or blow off steam—Freelance Success is the place to turn. We're all in this together.
