Earn up to $2 a Word at the Newly Revamped <i>Woman's Day</i>

Woman's Day magazine has been around for 75 years, so naturally there have been some changes to the format, tone and style of the pub. But since its 2012 redesign, editors say the mag is more focused than ever on adding value to their readers' lives -- whether it be money-saving tips, recipes or health news. The pub is ready for fresh new writers, and there are plenty of opportunities for freelancers (including contributing to Womansday.com). But remember, it's important to do your homework before submitting a pitch: Even with more than seven decades behind its title, this is not your nana's Woman's Day. It's not even the Woman's Day from five years ago. Freelancers interested in writing for the mag would do themselves a world of favors by getting acquainted with its post-redesign iteration. "A writer who wants to pitch us really needs to have read the past year of issues to know what we've covered. That requires a bit of research and knowledge," says [executive editor Annemarie Conte], who encourages aspiring contributors to do a little legwork. "We're in 90 percent of libraries in the country. You can find our back issues. There's no excuse not to know the last 12 months of Woman's Day."
