We’ve had a lot of conversation recently about what I call freelance writing jobs or gigs. My definition and the one used here in job postings is simple. If you can do it at home in your PJs, it’s freelance. Anything else, isn’t. So if you have to go to someones office to do it, it’s not, in my world, a true freelance gig.
Writing markets, on the other hand, are something else. I suppose my definition is any writing gig that might get listed in Writer’s Market. Generally that’s publications that serve a vertical market – that is magazines devoted to the medical industry, or theater, or horses, etc. etc. etc. Book publishers are also often listed as markets since book publishers usually have a specialty.
With that in mind here are some blogs that list markets:
- Writers Markets for Speculative Fiction: SF/F/H’s Journal – appears to add a new market weekly.
- Writers Weekly regularly posts magazine and other markets.
- Write About Second Life – and often get paid. Who knew!
- The Market List appears to have all sorts of markets for free – plus other good info.
- Bella Online has markets for non-fiction writers.
The real take away from this short list is that there are all sorts of markets out there. I found these via google, most of them using blogs about markets for writers. Not exactly rocket science.
What are your favorite markets?
Write well and often,
