    the best site is one that pays.

    Good freelance outlets aren't likely to be easily shared, even in a friendly establishment like this.

    Go write, make some contacts and cross your fingers. And don't waste time on places that don't pay cash money.

    Where you want to pitch depends on the story. The best thing you can do is network with and get to know as many editors at websites and magazines as you can then don't be afraid to send them an email saying "hey, I've got this story. Are you interested?"


    Pitching features can be discouraging, a 20 percent success rate is pretty good, but rewarding when you sell something you couldn't do at a typical newspaper job.
