Colleges normally have an enormous amount of information on things like this. Check with either the journalism department or the writing and rhetoric program. Different colleges call writing programs different things. There are all sorts of writing magazines that ask for submission. Almost all submissions are done now by e-mail and there are some on line sites that list companies looking for freelance writers.

First you'll have to master your craft. Build credentials. Attend or conduct seminars on writing even with your circle of friends. Do networking with your friends and spread the word about your writing services. Submit articles, short stories, etc. for publication. Innovate and be original
