Nothing makes you look more like a professional writer than using expert opinions and researched data to back up your topic. Where do you find all of these knowledgeable people? Good question! Here is a quick list of places I go when I need information for my articles.

Qwoted- This site is my new favorite. It’s super easy to use and you can easily sort through replies to your query.

Profnet- I use this site the most. You type up a note about what type of person you need and Profnet sends it out to people that may be interested.

HARO- Help a Reporter Out is a lot like Profnet. When you use this one, be ready for a flood of replies to your query.

ExpertClick- You can find press releases, experts and news stories at this site.

TravMedia- Do you write travel pieces? Then this is the site you need to join.

NewsWise- NewsWise can send you the latest press releases and list of expert contacts to your email address. They specialize in health, science and life news.

Game Press- This is the go-to site for video game information. You can get contact information for gaming experts here, as well as news and press releases.

Association of Food Journalists- Foodie writers can find leads and information for food trend articles on this site.

Reporter Connection- I haven't used this site, but it looks like it works like Profnet.

MyBlogU- This is a collaboration site for bloggers.

Businesswire- Business writers will love this site. You can find press releases, market information and more.

Kiti- This site, formally Media Kitty, helps you “find unique story angles, news releases, connect with brands and network with media and influencers.”
