Many of my womag writing friends have said that due to the shrinking market and/or changes to contracts, they're considering other types of writing. That sounds very sensible to me.One possible option is to write non-fiction for the same magazines you submit fiction to. A quick glance through any magazine will show more pages devoted to non-fiction than to fiction – and every single word had to be written by somebody.
If you'd like to break into writing non-fiction for magazines, but don't know where to start, then getting personal advice from an expert in this area will be useful. Thanks to the generosity of Alex Gazzola, you can do exactly that on my other blog. (Questions needn't be womag specific.)
One of the people who ask a question on that blog will be awarded their choice of either Alex Gazzola's book 50 Mistakes Beginner Writers Make or 50 More Mistakes Beginner Writers Make, which he'll post to them.

Are you thinking of writing non-fiction, or is it something you already do?

Definitely time to look for new writing opportunities. Will pop across to t’other place.
It's good advice. I've always written non-fiction as well and often have Scottish history articles published in the Highlander Magazine. Used to write for some others too but let them fall away.
