Magazine Editors on Twitter: 20 to Know + Tips to Connect
Magazine editors can seem so unapproachable. Am I right? You send them a query, and nothing.
But there’s one place where many editors seem to be easier to connect with: Twitter. As someone who once got $6,000 of assignments from a tweet, I’ve always been a fan of trying editors on this platform.

If you’ve struggled to get started or you’ve been writing for a while but plagued by self-doubt, you’re not alone.
Every freelance writer, from the newbie to the pro, battles their own freelance writing doubts and fears.
I’ve been there. I know what it’s like. And even after plenty of freelance writing wins, fear is always there waiting to strike, wear you down, fill you with doubt, and bump you off the path to success, if you let it.
That might sound like a lot of gloom and doom. But you can actually turn your freelance writing fears into a catalyst for change.
