    I love writing and have been told I am very good at it. I would love to get some freelance writing experience either online or for magazines. I would be happy to write for free to get experience if necessary. I am just wondering if anyone has any tips as to how you get experience? I have contacted a few places but not heard anything back and am just not sure how you are meant to go about it! Thanks

    You might be better off posting in the News & Media forum - there's a few freelancers there.

    Plus the Creative Writing forum too.

    Work experience is a great way to get some experience. Email every single place and you may get lucky!

    I get in a lot of press releases or articles of local events which I need so you should try local papers and cover local stories, with pics if possible.
