If you’ve freelanced for them repeatedly, you could give the name of the magazine, ‘freelancer’ or ‘contributor,’ and include the length of your relationship and what you wrote about. If you only freelanced once for a bunch of different publications, you could set up a ‘Freelance’ category on your resume and include an entry for each magazine and what you wrote about for it.
