Expand your income by writing for magazines

Technical writers know how to explain things clearly and logically. This makes us perfectly suited to write how-to articles for magazines. There is an increasing number of markets for informational articles, from lifestyle publications to specialized trade magazines. A query letter convinces the editor that you should get the assignment. You don't need to be an expert in the subject matter because you have the skills to interview SMEs for the right information. Good article ideas come from your own interests. Writing for magazines generates part-time income, establishes you as a published writer, and gives you a creative outlet.
