Worldwide Freelance Writers

An attractive site, providing freelance writers with a range of useful information. The main selling point is the section on markets. From a variety of categories you can read the actual writer's guidelines from a growing list of publications. But this site aims to be more than just a list of links. To give it more substance the site also has a collection of articles for the freelancer as well as recommending a variety of books, all of which are linked to the American version of Amazon. In order to stay ahead of the crowd why not sign up for the free newsletter filled with market and writing news. It's also worth mentioning that the site is a paying market itself. See below for details.

The site is very easy to navigate using the buttons on the left of every page.

SPECIAL FEATURES

Markets Choose the continent you're interested in and very quickly you are presented with the complete list of titles. Each title has full submission guidelines and contact details. On the Markets page you will find all the newest editions on the right hand side. It's also worth checking out the Special market Report which includes 50 Travel Writing Markets and 70 Computer and IT Markets.

Articles Writers with a decidedly international flavour share their thoughts with this range of excellent articles. At the bottom of the page is a link for those writers wishing to write for the site.

Free Newsletter You will no doubt have already seen the pop-up screen inviting you to subscribe to the newsletter. It comes up every single time you click the Markets button. Very annoying. This is the more civilised way to sign up. Read a sample copy to see what's in store.

Other Features A search engine allows you to search the whole site for a key word and then delivers the results with a somewhat arbitrary 'score'. There is also a fairly good links section.
