ABSTRACT

This chapter provides guidelines specific to writing for journals, blogs, newspapers, short-answer publications, reference sites, newsletters, websites, whitepapers, and reports, as well as short-form editing opportunities. Special tricks are offered for those who hate writing, and readers are taught how to pitch a story. The chapter includes helpful resources, including a bonus online eResource that lists many short-form writing opportunities (such as journal papers, magazine articles, etc.) in an electronic file that makes it easy to find and pursue specific writing opportunities. The chapter closes with an exercise for crafting a plan for a short-form written piece.
