Hi Mary Anne, Sorry it took me so long to answer your questions about my book reviewing work. I started out doing CD reviews for a rock music Web site. I fell...
I very much enjoyed reading Ellen's account of how she broke into book reviewing. Does anyone else have stories to share on how they started in a particular...
Thanks, Mary Anne. Funny, I work as a customer support rep for a Web site and I have also been trying to find my "niche" in writing, so to speak. I had not...

Ellen and Margaret: What awesome work and life experiences the two of you have! I do believe both of you could develop more article ideas and find more...
Marilyn, Such a simple idea, yet it didn't occur to me really until I read your words ;) Even though I seem to know "a little" about "a lot" of different...
Thanks for the brainstorming, Mary Anne! I am currently a contributing editor for Suite101.com and my first article was about inclusive education. I am...
Yes, "write about what you know" is good advice. For me writing about what I knew has taken me on an interesting trip the last few years. I've been a...

Hello: I received the email below and thought I would pass it along to this group, as well as post it in WriteSuccess. It doesn't pay, but if you want to gain...
It really stinks that they don't pay. Why do they expect writers to work for free? Are they working on the site for free? It bugs me when I see people...
Hi Brad: At the risk of stirring up an issue that has already been debated ad nauseum on other lists, I'd like to respond to your comment. To some extent, I...
Well, I've done my share of writing for free to build up clips, but I've also noticed that many sites that don't pay will continue to find ways not to pay even...
Hi, Just a few words from a writer who sometimes writes for free. This is a very controversial issue and some writers believe strongly one way or the other....
Yes, I agree with Mary Emma here. I wrote some things for free to get my career going (although a couple places where I wrote for free were places that were...
Brad and all, I think you've all made some great points here. It's nice to hear "both sides" of this particular argument. I don't think it's confrontational...
