Health Blogger Wanted

A blog network is looking to recruit an experienced writer on health issues. Popular topics include weight loss, illnesses such as diabetes and cancer, daily aches and pains such as cold sores and self-image issues such as hair loss.

They want a writer with experience of writing for a health website and who can work with deadlines and editors, so any articles published on general writing websites such as eHow, Hubpages or Xomba do not count as health writing experience.

Payment per post start at $25 and can rise to $35 with payment made via Paypal. Full details of how to apply are posted here. You must include 2 previously unpublished articles which will be paid for if accepted by the network.

A Holiday Gift For Writers from Storyfix

A Christmas article from Larry Brooks's Storyfix blog sends out a repair kit wrapped in tinsel to all those aspiring writers with unwanted novels.

The message is clear and simple: if you are trying to bend the rules of storytelling to fit your novel, then stop it! Novel writing may be considered an art form but a story needs to have a structure so that it can be properly called a novel. There is an architecture of novel writing that is rarely taught but without which you will end up with an unsightly pile of words. Every architect needs a structural engineer. Storyfix is your structural engineer for novel writers.

Enjoy the New Year.
