Today, I sit in a hospital waiting room. The surgery is underway. I'm thinking about writerly things to keep my mind on pleasantries and off the potential hazards of being put to sleep.
On the table next to me, I find multiple copies of four local publications all marked "Complimentary", which means I can take one. And, I do. I view these publications as four new markets where I can submit my non-fiction articles.
Next time you're in a waiting room, at the the hospital, doctor's office, or auto maintenance shop, check out the magazine rack for free issues of local magazines. Flip through each one and decide if you can write something the publisher might accept. These may not be high paying, but consider it a means of establishing your writing reputation.
Keep your eyes open for new publishing markets. Any questions?
