Writing Newspaper Articles

Fortunately, you don't need a degree to be "expert" enough to write a newspaper column. A proven record running your own small business might be enough to convince editors you can write about all things entrepreneur--IF your sample column supports shows degree-worthy insight.

And as for your writing credits, most editors consider the quality of your newspaper column as proof you can write.

Ed Domaingue wants to add my newspaper column to his paper. By the way, you were right. He did appreciate me calling him. And guess what? I underestimated the cost. He volunteered $25.00/newspaper column. He said to add that to the proposal letter.
