Writing-World.com is my first place to go when I want to learn about different kinds of writing, especially if it’s an unusual niche like greeting cards or quizzes. They also have extensive articles on the business aspects of being a writer.
The website is broken down into sections such as Beginner’s World, Commercial Corner, International Writing, Children’s Writing, Creative Nonfiction, etc., and each section is broken into subsections for easy perusal. Sometimes I like to visit the site and poke around randomly to see what catches my eye.
Writing-World.com is also handy as a brainstorming tool if you need to come up with new ways to bring in income as a writer, because so many different types of writing are covered.
It’s really cool how many different types of writing there are that you can get paid for. I’m sure most people are surprised like I was the first time they really think about it!
Agreed. I was amazed when I discovered just how big the freelance copywriting market was. Most people think of books and magazines when they think about writing (and I used to be one of those). One of the oddest writing jobs I heard about was writing fortune cookie sayings.
