My advice...... (#1)
by Trevor on Thu May 31 2007 at 7:23 PM EST
If I were you I would keep writing for sportscolumn as much as possible.  People do notice you here.  Accept anything that gets tossed your way from a bigger site.  I'm currently working as an "analyst" for water polo for College Sports TV.  Granted, I played water polo, but the point being is that you gotta get yourself in the door.  Now they got me in for water polo, I at least know who to beg, plead, bribe, etc. to let me cover college basketball (which is what I aspire to cover on a full-time basis).

Thanks for the tips Trevor. I've been accepting writing gigs left and right, not because of the monetary compensation, but more for the exposure it gives me.

I appreciate you taking the time out to give me suggestions. I hope that we can kee our lines open and correspond in the future.

Thanks again!

P.S. Likewise, I wish you luck on your goal of covering college basketball.

Kirby
