Magazines, But Not For Cutting

Posted by Jenn Greenleaf Aug 27, 2008

As many of you know, I’m absolutely in love with writing about the topic of mixed media. I’ve also been restructuring my freelance writing career. Because one of my goals has been to successfully mix my passion for writing in with my passion for mixed media art, I’ve been targeting some new leads.

I’ve been sending a lot of queries to markets where writing about arts and the art world are either their focus, or part of their publication.

This means, if the gigs are landed, that I’ll be successfully marrying the two – writing and art. That makes me very happy, of course. I’ve been looking for new markets, rather than established ones, because I also like being a part of a growing company. There’s so much enthusiasm when the market is fresh.

Don’t get me wrong, though, I’ve been looking at, as well as targeting those markets that are established. I love the idea of writing about how the Internet has brought artists out of the shadow and into the [computer screen] light. As a result, I’ve also been looking at pop culture publications.

This new career shift and focus is very positive and exciting! I’m looking forward to seeing what the future brings
