hey i'm a new freelance writer looking to show off my skills as a young writer and journalist-in-training.
Welcome to Digital Point. I'm new as well and I'm confident you're going to find a lot of highly informative discussions here. Enjoy the place.
Hey Ms2293, Welcome to DP. Look around, I am sure you will find some work for yourself, if that's what you're looking for. There is always someone who hates writing and will gladly pay someone to do it for them. The trick is going to be to break in to the cliques. People use who they know and trust. You will probably have to almost give your work away to prove yourself. Good luck and yell if you need anything.
Welcome ms2293! I am also new to DP, hopefully we will both achieve our objectives of honing our writing skills - whilst earning a bit on the side!
