5 Things I’ve Learned About Writing Short Nonfiction Articles Over The Past Many Years

Here are five things I’ve learned about article writing over the years:

1. You can always rely on writing and selling short articles to give you that “yes” energy that every writer craves.

2. Writing short articles is enriching and satisfying. I’m fulfilling an assignment for an editor today and I can’t wait to get back to work on it.

3. Short wait time. Why wait years to publish something when you can get something published next month?

4. The demand for short articles never diminishes. If anything the need for short nonfiction articles has only increased, which means most writers are going to need the skills.

5. Short articles are an important and profitable part of every nonfiction writer’s professional portfolio. I sell my articles over and over, year after year, and that’s an important part of my business.
