Welcome, writers!

Like you, I've been closely following the devastation in Asia and east Africa caused by the earthquake and tsunami. A site I've found of use, with updated information and suggestions of practical ways to assist, is actually a blog called Tsunami Help.

On a lighter note, I also recommend a visit to The Slot. The site's tagline is A Spot for Copy Editors, and it's a place to learn and have fun at the same time.

Hope you've noticed the new Market of the Day page at JustMarkets. Please feel free to drop by daily for a brand-new paying telecommute opportunity!

As for this issue of JustMarkets, from South Beach fashionistas to amazing Australians, from fly fishers to same-sex parents, there are readers out there waiting just for you.

New magazine seeks general interest articles

I am currently seeking articles of general-interest to be published in a new magazine in Australia.

We have quite a large budget and will pay up to $1 per word for any high quality articles.
We would like to see articles along the following lines:

• Amazing people who have done amazing things.
• People with interesting jobs that the public may not know about.
• Unusual hobbies that most people do not know about.
• Humorous pieces about trivial things in life.
• Self-help articles.

As I said it is general interest, so I welcome all queries. We also have room for columnists. If
you want to become a columnist, you will have to provide a twelve month outline of all the
articles that you plan on writing about. I prefer that you send full article submissions to me via email with the text in the main email body. A brief synopsis would be appreciated. Photo
support for any articles always earns extra credit and previous work is not necessary but does
help. I look forward to hearing from you, Trishan Naidoo, Co-editor.
