JustMarkets
Markets for Writers
Written by Stephanie Olsen   
2004-11-16

November 16, 2004

Hello again everybody,

This past week has been so exciting for me, what with the opening of the dedicated markets site JustMarkets!

Unlike those volunteer-based "I'll do it till I get tired; pay what you can" plans which pop up constantly and then collapse, you can rely on JustMarkets. As you know, JustMarkets is backed by business investment and a professional team of publishers, web techs and wizards who are in it for the long term. I am fully supported to do one job only: search for paying telecommute markets for you.

Now for this week's issue of JustMarkets: from men to birds, from Nevada to Nob Hill, there are markets and editors out there waiting just for you.

As always, good writing!

Stephanie Olsen
JustMarkets, Publisher

P.S. What a nice gift a year's subscription to JustMarkets makes! Your writer friend(s) could certainly benefit from the fastest markets online, saving countless hours of searching and scrounging all over the internet for paying freelance markets for writers.



Best Life
What Matters to Men

Both the email delivering the guidelines and the guidelines themselves start: It's not easy to break into Best Life. Don't even try if you haven't been published in a major magazine.

BL is an authoritative source of information on all aspects of a man's life, from fitness to food, career to emotional health. We rely on writers to seek out the right experts, and to either tell a story from a first-person perspective or to get good anecdotes. We carefully fact-check all quotes and information contained in the magazine.

The best place to break into the magazine is the Time + Money section or one of our departments: The Male Mind, The Male Body, Food + Wine, etc. For Time + Money, we seek submissions of about 200 words. Pays $.50 to $1 per word upon completion of fact-checking; buys all rights (negotiable).

Experienced Business Writers
Telecommute

The Planning Shop is an independent, rapidly growing publisher of books on business planning, entrepreneurship, and small business. We are about to launch a series of books that will bring business principles and practices to life for existing -- and aspiring -- entrepreneurs.

We're seeking writers who have experience presenting business- related subjects to a general audience in books, magazines, or newspapers. A lively, informal writing style is a must, as is the ability to present business concepts in a clear, concise manner.

Experience in writing about business plans, business loans, business research, home-based businesses, and other topics of interest to the independent businessperson would be extremely helpful.

We'd like to commission a writer immediately for a manuscript of approximately 20,000 words, due at the end of January 2005, on a work-for-hire basis. We will supply a detailed outline and much of the background material. We're looking to build up a stable of writers who are comfortable with a range of business-related topics, so feel free to apply even if you are not available for this deadline.

Please apply with resume, cover letter, and three writing samples to writer [at] planningshop.com. We can accept plain text, Word, or *small* PDF documents only.
