About a Career as a Freelance Writer

You may have dreamed of “becoming a writer” ever since you were a child, but now you can discover how to turn that vision into reality with the FabJob Guide to Become a Freelance Writer.

The guide explains how you can start a freelance writing business and get hired to write for publication or write for clients.

Writing for Publication: If you are like many freelance writers, you love to see your writing in print. There’s nothing quite like the feeling of picking up a magazine, newspaper, or book and seeing your own words on the page – knowing that thousands of people will read what you have written.

And if you write for popular online publications, your words could be read by literally millions of readers. The icing on the cake is that you are paid to do something you love.

Writing for Clients: If writing for publication is the “sizzle,” then writing for clients is the “steak.” While it may not offer the same excitement that comes with seeing one of your articles in a popular magazine, writing for clients can offer solid rewards including more stability and higher pay for many freelancers.

The type of freelance writing you can do for clients depends on your expertise, and a client’s needs. Some writers specialize in working with particular types of clients. Others work with a wide variety of clients, but specialize in particular types of projects, such as writing newsletters, speeches, or scripts, to mention just a few examples.

When you start your freelance writing business, you will determine what types of writing you want to do. You might choose a broad specialization such as “copywriting” or “technical writing” for any type of client that needs your help.

Or you might choose a narrow specialization such as writing grant proposals for non-profit arts organizations, “ghostwriting” autobiographies, writing business plans for technology start-ups, “search engine optimization” for retailers, or any other area that interests you and that clients need help with.

As long as you have the desire, you can become a freelance writer and start your own freelance writing business. No special education or experience is necessary to break into this career and succeed. You can start your own freelance writing business and become a freelance writer immediately.
