Writers Wanted! Inquire Within………

by Kate Olson on June 16, 2008

WANTED! Writers!

A client of mine is looking for education bloggers (or those interested in starting to write about education) to contribute to a group blog. This is in the very beginning stages right now and we’re just getting a list of interested writers at this point. You would post regularly (but not be required to post more than 1x per month) about pretty much any topic related to education. We’re not looking for just edtech writers - seriously, ANYONE interested in writing about ANYTHING education-related is invited to add their name to the list of interested writers.

If you want a basic idea of what YOU would get out of the deal (nope, no money!) - here you go:

The perks are mainly exposure (you would have a bio and links back to your other sites) and the chance to write with a group of talented writers. It’s a learning community site and we hope it will inspire non-bloggers to enter the wonderful world of writing for an audience and responding to the work of others. A group blog is a great way for new bloggers to jump in to this world because it requires NO site maintenance - you get all the glory with none of the technical work - that’s a pretty good deal!

If you’d like a very general (and site-wise, very unrelated) look at what kind of bio you could have on the site, check out the contributors page on This Mommy Gig, a group blog that I started for parents.

If you’re interested:

Leave a comment here or email me at kolson29 at gmail dot com and let me know that you’re interested - a link to your current blog would be great, but if you don’t have one, that’s fine. It’s not an application, I’m not saying yay or nay - if you respond, you’re on the list. Simple as that!

As we’re just gathering names now, I’ll just get back to you to let you know I got your info and then get you more information as soon as things start rolling along.

I’m looking forward to hearing from a LOT of people - I would love if you could pass this along to your readers or Twitter friends, the more the merrier!

StumbleUpon It!

If you're new here (or just forgot last time!), you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

I would love to be a part of this! My personal blog focuses on homeschooling, but I can write about early childhood ed. elementary ed. and special ed. (I gotta make that diploma that is in my closet start to pay for itself sometime…) I also have some great human resources involved in literacy education in South Asia
