Freelance Writing Opportunities



Freelance Writing Opportunities?
Hey all, I am a sixteen year old and I wanted to know if there was a chance I could get any freelance writing jobs. I'm pointing out that I'm sixteen because I can't move anywhere, take on a full time job, I don't have any sort of degree (obviously), et cetera. So, my question is: Does anyone know of a good site informing people of opportunities for people in my position? Creative writing is best. Also: What about magazines or something that 'sponsor' freelance fiction? Is that an option? Right now I'm not interested in money (Well, not *really*), but rather getting some experience. Note: I tried a search but my search - fu is lacking. Thanks Mara; those are some great sites! Chris; thank you for the answer although I had already found that site. :/ It's more for adults looking for work.

1. http://liminaljournal.com/ Liminal Journal does "poetry, fiction, nonfiction, book and music reviews, photography, artwork and short film," according to the website homepage. I recently submitted a poem to be in the first edition, and it got in. It's both online and print. 2. http://www.fictionpress.com/ FictionPress is, um, a place to put your fiction. 3. http://www.polyphonyonline.org/ Polyphony is for literature and art. It's very cool.

Try The Frugal Freelancer blog - http://frugalfreelancer-freelanceliving.blogspot.com/ - scroll down to the bottom of the page and take a look at the niche sites. Also, sites like Suite101, allow writers to choose their topics. Also, try to query magazines that target children and teens. The only problem you may have is getting paid, but maybe one of your parents can help out with that part. Many online writing outlets do not send checks, they pay through Paypal. Good luck.
