Hey Mark & Matt - I'd love to hear some insight on breaking into the music writing world without a journalism degree. As a Marketing grad working for a major corporation I don't have the resume to back it up, but virtually all my time is consumed w/ absorbing as much music and essential music writing/history as possible. My pedigree extends as far as a few dozen casual reviews on RYM, and a short-lived YouTube channel on which I imbibed while discussing classic albums.
I'm not looking to be the next DeRogatis or Bangs, but I would love to find some real platform to share my thoughts; even if it's just a hobby. How do you suggest getting involved, whether it's occasional writing on smaller music journalism blogs, or really anything? Thanks to both of you, love your writing!
