In your post you cover several things that I’ve written about in my book. Among other things, it’s really important to be able to take criticism from an editor and to not be worried about that person editing your work. Many times my editors have really improved my copy.

Great, great tips. I’ve pitched a few guest posts so far, but haven’t tried pitching to a news org. I definitely want to give it a shot now.

@Bamboo Forest: Thank you!

@Eric C: That some bylines are worth more than others is something that editors may not want to admit, but it definitely is true. Thanks!

Some great pieces of advice. Particularly that some bylines are worth more than others, and to menton that you’re willing to edit.

Good stuff.
