If this doesn't belong here I apologize.

 

I am interested in writing articles for fishing websites, publications, blogs, etc. How do I go about sending them to companies for publication? Do I need to be employed with the company or are there sites that will publish freelance writers. I have had multiple articles published in science and psychology journals when I was in College and absolutely love to write.  

Media is always looking for writers/photographers (since they often come together). Simply check the "Writer's Guidelines" for the publications you'd like to write for.

 

Pay is low and quality expectations high -esp images (a lot of media is "eye candy". To make money -if that is part of your goal- you will need to be prolific and, therefore, efficient. All Editors are different personality-wise; Nice to find one's you like, and like you. Realize they are busy and you are entering the business as a professional. So, take their time seriously. They will appreciate your professionalism.

Thank you. Personally I am volunteering my time, writing and experiences. I am not seeking to do this for monetary gain just something I like to do during the winter or evening when I can't be on the water.

I write for a few of my sponsors.  It's a good way to showcase baits and techniques.  It really depends on what kind of articles you are going to write.  Bait specific to each manufacturer will get the most interest.  How to's for a specific bait will also.  General interest are a bit tougher to garner interest and finding the right person to get them to isn't easy.  Most have websites that may give you an email address to send a submission and moderators of some websites may be able to help.
