Good post!

Club magazines such as "The Star" and "Roundel" might be an easier avenue to get pieces published. Not much coverage, but it's a start.

Thank you for posting. Automotive writing...now that would be a good career.

Freelancing generally doesn't pay squat, unfortunately. I used to do some news freelancing (covering town council meetings, school events, etc.) after I stopped doing journalism full-time and it would be either $50 or $25 an article, at the discretion of the editor.

So if you're going to try your hand at automotive freelancing, it better be for the love of the cars!

I did it in the 1970s, it was great, but then other different opportunities came along.
