How to Become a Columnist – National Society of Newspaper Columnists

How to Become a Columnist – National Society of Newspaper Columnists: "Start a locally oriented column and try to freelance it to your local daily or weekly newspaper.

— Start a non-local column and try to self-syndicate it to various newspapers around the country.

— Start a blog (many blog posts are similar to newspaper columns) and hope it eventually draws some attention.

— If you end up going to graduate school, see if you could write a column for the university newspaper.

Becoming a columnist is not easy, especially in this difficult publishing market, but some people manage to do it. Good luck!"
