For example, if you are an artist (amateur or professional) and you have writing skills, you could cover art openings, art festivals, public art in town, etc. This would involve interviewing the artist(s) and doing research. And, optional taking photos of the art work.
This may be the START OF A WRITING CAREER for you!

EDITING
If you have experience at EDITING, and would be willing and happy to do a couple of articles each week, we’d love to talk to you about that! Contact our Editor to see how you would fit into our team.

Editing often pays more than writing. It’s a good career for people who have sharp eyes, and think logically, can focus precisely, has a great grasp on grammar and spelling.
You will need to be familiar with the STYLE BOOK which states the standard for journalism writing. — You need to write out the numbers one through nine. You need to write out a number that is the first thing in a sentence (Twenty-nine soldiers were killed.) You need to put punctuation marks inside quote marks. — The basics can be easily learned, and complicated questions can be answered through appropriate searches online.
