O ye writers among you!
Feb 27, 2007 Writing
I’m looking for some pitches for my new job.
The publication is an e-newsletter that goes out to listeners of adult contemporary radio stations — primarily women 25 to 50. I’m looking for content that’s the kind of thing you would see in the front of your average women’s magazine. You know, those little fillers that show up three or four to a page and offer quick, useful tips and/or information. Topics would be similar, too: Health/Fitness, Finances, Work, Beauty, Parenting. I’m looking for copy that has a lot of personality and that’s going to somehow benefit the reader.
Query me first — I’m still figuring out topics and it’s going to take me some time to nail the voice I’m looking for so I don’t want you to take the time to write something if I likely can’t use it. I’m willing to work with newer writers so don’t let the stage-fright of writing a query stop you. Also my email is dawn.friedman@gmail.com — just be sure to put “submission” in your subject line so I don’t lose you in my overflowing inbox.
Pay is $25 per 500-700ish words, pays on publication and publication is usually pretty quick.
