Jodee
I’d like to say thank you for posting several leads where magazines are looking for articles. I’m just getting started, need to build up a few credentials and clips, and the magazine leads are extremely helpful.
Thanks again.
You’re quite welcome!
Great job, Jodee. I don’t know how you do it! I know people tell you this all the time, but it doesn’t hurt to say it again: you are such a great help, without you I would be spending so much more time on the internet looking for jobs rather than writing! Thanks again!
I am so excited to see so many gigs over the last few days. Thank you so much Deb and Jodee. I have a few issues that I am hoping to get some feedback about:
I response to many gigs but never hear back from them – any advice on how to dazzle them?
I am a health/fitness writer and am not finding many opportunities in my genre – any advice on places to look?
Thanks again
On the call for submissions e-zine article lead for Wow! Women on Writing, I wasn’t able to find their writing guidelines. They say they are oline, but I didn’t see them. Anyone else? Where did you find them?
Not so sure about the site promoter job – they want a 500 word essay on spec.

Peggy, I haven’t found it either. Maybe we’re supposed to just judge based on the articles in their web site?
m, I wondered about that, too. I passed. They could very well be legit, but there are plenty of other opportunities.
The contact page for WOW! is here:

Hope this helps.
Re: the site promoter gig (and others like it that ask you to write something on spec without providing a name/URL/or other identifiying info).
When I see a gig that looks promising, but could also be a scam (i.e. they want the samples only and you’ll never hear from them again), I email them with some links to my work and a little background about myself, and a request for more information about their project so I can appropriately tailor my response.
That way, if they don’t respond, I’ve only lost a few minutes of my time, and if they do, I can usually get a sense of the company and find out enough about them to see if they’re legit. It’s also happened that they get enough of a sense of what I’m capable of that I end up not even needing to do the spec work.
Hopefully that was helpful to someone!
Thanks Jodee!
Now I know you really do have a knack for finding things.
Jodee thanks for the research you do to get these writing leads to us! It is much appreciated! I am still working up enough confidence and material to actually apply or submit anything to the leads. I will get there. It is a process. My blog is good practice for me. So if anyone wants to visit my blog and give me feedback, that would be great!

Jodee,
I have to tell you, what you do here is fantastic service. I’ve been poking around looking for freelance work but not getting much in the way of replies. I recently reworked my approach and resume, and started applying to jobs you’ve posted here. In the last 4 days I’ve gotten 5 solid responses for work and one gig that is already paying. Thank you so much for your time and effort here, it really does make a difference!
Regards,
Chris
Wow, Chris, that is wonderful! You must be very pleased with the response. Keep in mind, though, that I just post the leads; you are the one who got the job!
Congrats Chris! I get a lot of my gigs here too ♥
Congrats Chris.
Would anyone like to give hints as to query letters that they do? I would like to have one that is a dazzler also. No resume as of yet though.

I just found the answer at Wow.
Ditto, Ditto, Ditto. You ROCK Jodee!!!!!
Thanks Micah! I didn’t see that. Looks great ♥
Thank you all for your kind comments! They are very much appreciated.
