Hey guys,

Just a quick open query regarding if anyone knows how to get into the field of freelance journalism. It's something I am considering in the next year or two.

I currently have a LinkedIn and plenty of writing experience, including in the Nottingham Post, and currently work part-time in a sports reporter role, so I do have some pedigree.

 

Anybody able to give me some pointers?

 

Much appreciated :-)

JJ

Well you're are making progress as things are, you write for multiple sources and have a good presence with those sites.

I know we have a couple of reporters/newspaper writers (or I should say former) around, I think @Sid retired? He might might be able to give advice but personally keep putting your face in doors, send out your articles to editors and eventually something will happen.

good luck @Joe Jones really value your contributions here, hope you dont leave tho.

@liampie don't worry, I'm not intending to leave PoN. No matter how busy I'd get, I'd always make sure that I'm able to contribute at least a few articles a week to this site. I'm not being poached by nobody if it means getting in the way of PoN.
