Hey, I'm looking for writers interested in helping me out

[ddickey]

First things first: unfortunately, at this time I can't pay you. Although my site has a few google ads, it has, to date, generated around one penny--and that is not hyperbole.

If you're still around after those sentences, let me tell you what I'm looking for: I'm interested in finding writers to help me generate content. I need straight news copy or opinion pieces--I'm especially interested in satire, polemics, philosophy. Politically, you can be left, right, or middle. I'm not in search of like-minded individuals; I'm interested in all viewpoints, though mine tend to lean left.

I'm also working to acquire review copies for books and DVDs from publishing houses and studios and I may be able to get one to you every now and then to review for the site. You will receive full credit for your writings published on the site. If, at some point, the site generates ad revenue, I plan on paying writers with it. But that's in the--hopefully not-too-distant--future.

Plagiarism will not be tolerated.

If you're interested contact me and toss some links or writing samples my way. I'd love to read it.

1. Pss-t! It might help if you'd post a link to your website. (eom)

2. What the fuck makes you so special that folks will work for free?

Hell, I charge taterguy $3.00 every time I read one of his posts.

4. Forgot the link

Sorry. You're right. It would help. I could have sworn I included the link. Here it is: http://www.obsense.org/

And taterguy: What makes me so special that I expect folks to work for free? Nothing. I'm simply searching for people like me who enjoy writing, who have a passion for current states of affairs, and, like me, who are in search of a malleable outlet in which to write. Many sites on the internet accept submissions, post them, and offer the writers nothing in return. Then these same sites turn around and sell to corporations for hundreds of millions of dollars. The primary difference between me and, say, the Huffington Post, is that I’m not going to expect someone to adhere to my way of thinking; I’m not trying to skew dialogue in my direction. I’m simply in search of a venue in which to get in on the conversation. And I’m offering people the same venue, hoping that, together, we can contribute to the discourse—even if our contributions are polemical.
