The Renegade Writer: A Totally Unconventional Guide to Freelance Writing Success

Score the best assignments and make more money with this rule-breaking advice from two writers who sell to magazines you want to write for!

You want more acceptances from editors? Would you like your writing income to grow this year? Stop following the advice of writers who insist you can't pitch to national magazines until you've sold 15 articles to regional publications, or that you must follow the magazine's writer guidelines to a T. Instead, learn from a dozen successful magazine writers how to build your own profitable, fulfilling freelance career in which you can take pride.

For over 20 years Linda Formichelli and Diana Burrell have written for top magazines and newspapers you can find on every newsstand including Family Circle, Woman's Day, Cook's Illustrated, Parenting, Redbook, Fortune Small Business, Writer's Digest, Oxygen, The Boston Globe, Self, Inc., and dozens more.Â They pitch magazines theyâ€™ve never read, call editors to pitch ideas, research extensively before they even get an assignment, and usually follow their own inclinations rather than the official directions. Theyâ€™ve negotiated for more money and better terms without risking their careers, learned that editors are not the writer-gobbling monsters many freelancers fear, and established long-term relationships with editors at top publications. And in The Renegade Writer, they share all their tips and tricks so you, too, can become the go-to writer editors love.

When the first edition of The Renegade Writer was published in 2003, it helped thousands of magazine writers around the world find more (and better) ideas, break into new (or tough) markets, research and write their articles with more efficiency, and get paid more money...and showed them that the freelance life can be extremely profitable when they use their brains instead ofÂ tired-old rules. This third edition, which has been an Amazon best-seller in the journalism category, includes new â€œrulesâ€ that freelancers can break, updates on the featured writers from our second edition, and new Q&As with successful rule-busting writers.

Here's what readers have said about The Renegade Writer...

"The Renegade Writer serves up a bevy of interesting, successful, real-life characters all of whom have instinctively broken the rules and not only gotten by with it, but also lived to enjoy big, fat paychecks and a lifestyle of their own choosing. Interviews and quotes from expert sources debunk many of the myths that we've come to accept as gospel." -- Savvy Writer "MJ", Verified Purchase

"I am just an average Joe... a mom who works full-time at a job I can't hardly stand, and who dreams of becoming a known writer. I've read various books from the library on freelance writing, and how to write proper queries, and other various topics. None of them have filled me with confidence like this book has." --Jennifer, Verified Purchase

"Reading this book has been amazing. I'm new to the freelance writing thing (less than a year), but after starting this book it gave me the "oomph" i needed to get out there to pitch magazines in my niche." -- Darrelle, Verified Purchase

"Filled with tricks and tips for everything from the all important query letter to where to find those ideas editors drool over, this book is a must have for anyone serious about taking their freelance dreams and turning them into a paid reality. Do yourself (and your career) a favour by buying this book." --Mrs. T. Edwards, Verified Purchase
