CIWI (pronounced 'kiwi', of course), is a forum for independent writers of any stripe looking for a professional community. We will lightly moderate the forum, but by joining, members take it upon themselves to help build this network. Journalists, marketing writers, development writers, copywriters, grant writers, and the like are welcome to join.

When replying to someone else, in a new email please paste *only* the relevant part of their prior text - that way, we can keep the list neat and tidy, as we like it.Please remember to put these headings in your subject line in addition to your own subject.

ADVICE...What should I get paid? How do I find an agent?
IDEAS...Anything goes. Plot your next revolution, give a journalist something to chew on...
INFO4U...Magazine X doesn't pay their writers? Writing contests?
JOBOPP...Job opportunities that you are aware of and would like to share
NETWORK...Set up an event, introduce yourself, or promote yourself shamelessly
SCOOP...An inside or media-worthy event happening NOW

With your help, we look forward to creating an active online community.
