I’ve been looking up previous questions on this but there don’t seem to be that many recent ones. Does anyone out there in Yahoo land have experience of working as a freelance writer in the UK, or of submitting speculative articles with or without success to newspapers etc? I should explain that I am not a teenage dreamer, I am a mature person with a solid knowledge of a niche subject and a track record of academic writing about it, kind of looking to transition to writing about my subject in a more commercial way. Just really wondering whether it’s possible to get paid for writing at all now, or is everything taken free from social media ??
