Nice piece by Yahoo! boxing/MMA writer Kevin Iole on the craft. Deserves a little exposure here as well as his webpage:

Sorry, but there's nothing here that most of us don't know already. But yes, it's all sound advice for young writers, which is all it aims to be, I suppose.

No offense intended toward veteran posters and journos, of course. But lets not pretend those are the only ones posting and reading here. We do have quite a few threads from those wanting to learn about the business and that's who this was aimed at.

Fair enough. I acknowledged (said!) as much. It is all good advice for beginners.
