I've actually been looking at this as something to pursue.
From what I understand, no big name will buy a written story. What you do is go to smaller places and basically sell an editor on an idea for a story. Any you just work your way up and try and get onto bigger places. You can also be a stringer for certain places. I had a friends who ran into Bosnia right when things got bad being a stringer for several major papers including reuters and Christian science monitor and he's doing pretty well.
For a while you'll be living on the poor if this was what you were doing only. I'm trying to submit opinion pieces and letters to the editor at business type places like the economist and bloomberg and I'm hoping I can build on that and see where it takes me.
