Write-from-Home.Com: A New Site for Freelance Writers
May 11th 2007 22:50
Write-from-Home.Com, a new site for writers that "just opened its web doors at the end of 2006," has some interesting info and resources for freelancers who want to learn more about the writing business, as well as find markets for their work.
Write-from-Home.Com, offers a free list of paying markets for freelance writers and also a free list of writing contests and awards, as well as a fair-sized selection of interesting new articles on getting paid to write. They also offer a free subscription to their ezine, which provides info on all the latest paying markets and contests, and perhaps best of all, they buy articles from freelancers! Since their focus is on the business end of freelance writing, these are the types of articles they purchase for posting to their site.
Here's a link to their Guidelines. They pay $75 for first-time non-exclusive rights (to previously unpublished articles) and $30 for reprints. Articles of 500-700 words are preferred, though articles up to 1500 words will be considered. They like articles on the following aspects of the writing business: "breaking into new markets, unique ways to make money freelance writing, and tips new freelance writers can use to be successful." They are not interested in articles on the writing craft or on specific categories of writing, such as poetry, fiction, etc., nor are they interested in personal success stories; and they don't publish fiction, poetry, columns, or "rants."
If this gig sounds like something you'd be interested in, or if you'd simply like to check out their market listings or read some of their articles to pick up some tips that might prove helpful to you in the advancement of your own freelance career, take a look at their site. (They have articles on grant writing, travel writing, writing book reviews, finding article ideas, writing for your local newspaper, not overlooking small jobs, staying inspired, tax issues, and health insurance for freelance writers.)
Take a look at Write-from-Home.Com. You might just find something helpful there--and maybe even sell an article or two in the process!
Your friend in the literary art,

This site looks really good, and honestly if I can start doing that type of work, it would be a life saver. One can always use an extra buck especially when one's unemployed. Thanks for the info.
Peace.

May you sell many masterpieces there and make many "extra bucks" in the process--both there and elsewhere!
Best of luck in your writing career!

Check out my post on Duotrope's Digest. Just noticed that their database of market listings can be searched by country and have added that fact to my post. Maybe you'll find a suitable market for your writing there! Hope so!
