There's plenty of bad news to go around these days about the various segments of the publishing world, from newspapers and magazines to various types of book publishers. And there are more than enough people blogging about it. (You might even say it's gotten to the point where they're blogging a dead horse. Sorry--couldn't resist.)
So I'd like to focus on the good news for publishers and, by extension, writers. What's working in our favor? Where should we be focusing our marketing efforts? Who will buy our work?
I noticed this little intriguing item about newsletters in the nation's capital. Newsletters serve an important purpose and, along with specialty press and trade publications, they represent a thriving market.
I know some writing for government and trade publications gets farmed out to freelancers. Don't overlook these markets as places to seek out work.
Bottom line: there are all sorts of opportunities out there for writers. You just have to keep your eyes, ears and mind open for them.
