RRD#@>> Non-fiction writers also face the task of going through Writer's Market
RRD#@>> and other outlets...searching for markets for their work.  I don't
RRD#@>> think the markets for non fiction writers are any "clearer" than they
RRD#@>> are for fiction writers.  Non fiction writers (particularly those who d
RRD#@>> this for a living) pursue a variety of markets, a variety of angles to
RRD#@>> sell their work to differing markets and a variety of topics.

RRD#@>     This is one of my favorite things about writing nonfiction.  I can s
RRD#@>the same story written from different perspectives to several different
RRD#@>markets.  You can write about hobby and work related topics or you can do
RRD#@>interview based articles...there never seems to be a shortage of ideas fo
RRD#@>material.  And the best part is that I don't get bored because I'm always
RRD#@>moving on to another topic.  And the odds are better because there are ma
RRD#@>more markets for nonfiction work.

It may seem easier to get started with non-fiction because there are so
many local markets crying for material (newspapers and regional
magazines, f'instance).   Local markets for fiction and poetry are
scarce, but there's always some weekly newspaper that needs human
interest stories or profiles.  And if that weren't enough...markets like
the weeklies actually *pay*...mebbe not much, but usually *something*
