Of course I was told no, bicycling is no big deal. ( I wrote a free-lance piece that ran in a local sports periodical). This summer that same editor assigned another writer to go to the TdF to cover LA...I'm not in Sports but in Metro and that was reason given me. Anyway... this getting to be inside baseball but you get the drift.
Now that it is brought up I think a free-lance piece for another mag would be a good idea...
thanks
nah, not saying you dropped the ball, but like you say, you're in metro, and i don't know if that would really work with your editor and whatnot..i had no real idea what your situation is.
but yeah, if you think you can do a freelance piece, do it. i'd do it myself if i thought anyone would take it. it's sort of my d.i.y. thing--if what you're looking for isn't there, create it.
