I'm a freelance writer, on the side from my full-time job. Prior to moving here, I had a monthly magazine whom I had been writing for, for about 10 years. Since I had become friends with the editor over those years, she kept me on. Once I settled in down here, I started reaching out to the local magazines, with writing samples. I ended up landing a job with Living. (They came to me on a Thursday with 3 jobs and needed them for the Monday. I knew I couldn't say "no" so I took them and have been writing for them, almost monthly, for 15 months.)
Â
I found word-of-mouth is helpful, too. My dentist advertises in Living, so I was talking with his office manager/wife about it and next thing you knew, I was hooked up with one of the sales reps in the area (who didn't even know there was a local writer here, as the magazine operates out of Dallas).

What kind of questions do you have? I'm not the most knowledgeable on a lot, but I know away around my invoicing, business expenses and taxes for my business.
