Thanks Jodee. There are a few there that I’m interested in today.

Anyone else finding there are a lot less high paying jobs lately? I don’t mean this site in particular, just in general.

Thanks, Jodee. Always appreciative of your efforts to get us some gigs.
krista,
Yes. It seems that what’s happening on Wall Street is already trickling down to us.

Thanks for the leads, Jodee!
Krista, that’s been my observation as well.
Has anyone heard of Media Maxwell Blog Network? It was one of the leads today. I googled the name, but didn’t get a solid hit. The pay sounds very attractive, but that required writing sample and no known website is sending out red flags in my mind.

I was hoping I was just having a streak of bad luck

In addition to less high-paying jobs, I’ve noticed a lot more jobs that require specific, “unique” writing samples. It gets kind of frustrating choosing between not applying or spending valuable time writing a sample just to be considered.

@Krista: Yes, I’ve noticed it, too.
@Stacy: I also didn’t find anything direct on Media Maxwell… and I had the same, uhm, concerns as you.
I find the wording “unique writing sample” a bit odd. I don’t plagiarize, so all my writing is unique, thank you!

I haven’t noticed it… I see that you have to look because many jobs are getting more specific, that’s what I see… but the money is there.

My question is what happens if the publication does not pay according to contract? I wrote an article that would have netted me $250 if the publisher had paid me. The editor won’t even return my e-mails. Do I post a story about the publisher on my blog and write it off as a learning experience? I want to name names of the company ( and the editor) so they don’t rip off another writer.

Anne - try contact Angela Hoy at Writers Weekly. She’s great at going after deadbeat employers in the writing field.

I’ve heard of Media Maxwell, just in general. They responded to me with a link to a website. I will let you know how it turns out.
