A hobby can become a career. You can turn any interest you have into profit by being published, and published regularly. Whether it be a sport, craft, hobby or professional experience, readers and editors wish to share your knowledge. If you have a passion for travel, adventure, show business, the arts, health and fitness, food or finance, you can turn this into a money-making pursuit. Similarly if you have a professional skill, readers would like to hear from you.

Your hours are flexible. Freelance writing is something you can do part-time. Unless you are out 'on assignment', you can work from home, at the times that best suit you.

You can specialise in your passions.

There is no such thing as a 'typical' freelance writer. In fact, many freelance writers didn't set out deliberately on this path. Instead, they entered the industry because they felt they had something to say - usually about a subject for which they have a passion. School teachers, trades people, nurses, secretaries, business people, IT specialists: competent freelance writers come from all fields.

Part-time freelance writing is a path to full-time employment, as a full-time freelance or staff journalist. If you are looking for employment in the media industry the first question any editor will ask is: "What have you had published previously?". This is your most important qualification. Freelance writing quickly builds your all-important portfolio of published material which can serve as a stepping-stone into mainstream media.
