Norm Sklarewitz - freelance travel writer
*******************************************************
Norm lives in Los Angeles, California. He has written
thousands of magazine and newspaper articles and
columns since being engaged exclusively as a freelance
journalist. He also has been Los Angeles Bureau Chief
for U.S. News & World Report, and a staff reporter for
the Wall Street Journal, which included a stint for the
paper while based in Tokyo.
Here’s our conversation with Norm -
** What is your daily schedule? **
-----------------------------------
Actually, there really is no one typical day. Some days
can be making a lot of phone calls, researching, and
writing, while other days can be 25-50 percent
administrative in writing queries and responding to
questions from editors regarding assignments and
stories already turned in. I check my email frequently,
probably compulsively. I find that email has taken over
90 percent of communication. Faxes have almost stopped.
And some days involve meetings, interviews out of my
office at home, and going to industry functions. But no
day is like a nine to five day. I often work late into
the night and start early as well. To reach someone on
the East Coast I have to make calls early. I work
heavily with Asian sources, and their day begins around
four to five p.m. my time, so I'm working till 10 p.m.
to make sure I get what I need before I go to bed.
** Why do you enjoy being a freelance writer? **
------------------------------------
Total independence, which is both a big plus
and big
minus. You have the freedom to succeed or fail on your
own ability. But you have to recognize that there isn't
any job security or benefits as with a full time job.
You often work more hours than in a normal work week,
but you have the flexibility to work at your own pace.
** How did you become a writer? **
------------------------------------
All I ever wanted to be was a reporter. I wrote for my
high school paper and wrote some freelance articles at
the University of Indiana. I was an Army corespondent
in Europe. Subsequently, I worked for City News in
Chicago and then some other publications.
**What would you do differently if starting over as a
writer?**
-------------------------------------
I would probably be more aggressive in going after the
top markets without sacrificing the smaller markets.
Sometimes articles may be more apropos for smaller
publications. I'd really set my sights on selling to
larger and more difficult to sell markets.
