For the past 2 years, my husband has been doing freelance and writing and editing, after being an editor of law books for a number of years. His main source of income these days has just cut back dramatically on its freelance budget (definitely a trend, I know) and he needs to find more magazines/newspapers who need freelancers. The problem is that he’s not sure exactly how to go about finding more organizations he can pitch stories to.
So, for those of you who are freelancing or who use freelancers, where should he go to find media organizations to pitch to? He does mostly legal and technology stories, but he’s also interested in general interest stories. He’s tried pitching stories a number of places, but it’s tough to get a foot in the door. Suggestions would be most welcome.
