Ages, i am not a natural writer, so I just started doing short articles and posting them on a few forums. That helped to build my confidence, so i started doing some longer ones. fficeffice" />

I started to submit these to a load of web based fitness publications and lifestyle type web publications.

This then lead to some contacts with local media such as radio, newspapers and magazines. Then I have got into a few nationally.

All in all i spent about two years working up to it and building up a portfolio of experience.

One good tip I got wa snot just to limit yourself to fitness type publications, I have written for a few business type publications, such as de-stressing through exercise, eating well at work, etc...

Just talk to as many people as possible, send out as many examples as you can. But beware most will ignore you or reject you, but keep trying and you will get there.

Good luck mate if you want any more info, feel free to ask!
