Are there any freelance writers here? Any advice to someone starting out? I’ve been going through Writers Digest and other magazines and websites with good information, but would appreciate any advice you all may have. Thanks!
I was reading about querying. Theres so much competition out there. Any area/fields that need more writers? Thanks again.

depends on what type of publications you are targetting, I have written for newspapers and I know Muzna has as well. There must be others as well.
Fraudia,
you have only written for papers? What section of the papers did you write for if you dont mind my asking? Thanks!
I will focus on magazines, not papers right now. Specifically start-ups and also environmental ones perhaps.

I wrote for entertainment sections.
Yup free lance writer here, one recommendation if you want to go into media/magazine permanently learn Quark!
Another learn Short hand for journalism
If you write more opinion pieces you can be fairly relaxed about the writing style, but newspaper journalism is quite different
