Hello
My name is Vicky and I wonder if you can help me with my question. I would like to know how I can get into writing for magazines such as yourself, I'm 25 and have worked with dogs for eight years and although I am a groomer I would like to try something else and writing has always interested me. Can you give me any advice how I can achieve this?
Thank you for your time
Regards
Vicky
Hi Vicki
There are lots of ways to get involved in Dogs Today and get your words printed (click here for details), but to be honest the chances of turning doggie writing into a career are very slim! Full time vacancies at the magazine are as rare as hen's teeth and the most of our freelance writers are specialists for those writing is an add-on for them not the full time career.
I did a great evening writing course when I lived in London that was totally geared towards writing for publication and gave you some great hints for writing for your market and selling your work as a freelance, but being a freelance writer is one of the most competitive jobs there is. There's a great book called the Writer's and Artist's Year book that gives lots of pointers as to markets for freelancers and how to get commissioned.
Good luck with the writing and do have a look at our ways of getting your words into print.
Regards Beverley, Editor Dogs Today
