Most of this is rubbish. About.com hires dozens of writers from UK, Canada, Australia and elsewhere, and there are no tax or work complications.

They do pay by cheque, but that’s the only downside.

How did this happen? Did you get a green card? I applied a week ago and was rejected because I have nothing to show I am officially allowed to work in the U.S.

Unfortunately there’s a catch. Non-American citizens must have documentation proving they are allowed to work in the U.S. That is almost as hard to get as an actual citizenship.

It turns out I am also geographically challenged – I live in Sweden, and their list of countries doesn’t include Sweden! I’ve put in a support ticket, but so far no reply… sob.

That’s great news and a step in the ‘write’ direction… Australia next? Please? And then some actual gigs that writers from overseas qualify for…?
Keep up the great work Deb – even though I am geographically challenged by my location, I’ve still picked up a few useful leads from your site to help get me going in the freelance arena. Many thanks.

Update: I e-mailed DS and got a super fast reply. They updated the original account I set up in 2008 to reflect being a Canadian writer so I’m good to go

That’s great news! I don’t have the cycles right now but it’s wonderful to know this is an option. I was accepted by mistake a few years ago so have a login but never used it as I realised after I was accepted that they didn’t accept Canadians. Going to see if I can use that or have to start from scratch.

Thanks, Deb

That’s wonderful news, Deb. It took them long enough!

I’ve been out of the work loop for a while, and have been rocking the content mills between “real” gigs lately, just to make the bills. This is good news.
