Yes, the title is strange, and not really something that fits into the overall aesthetic of the blog, but I wanted to take a minute to give you an idea of the types of content writing I do on a regular basis.  I wrote this article in response to the following Craigslist ad:

We are looking for a great writer to create weekly postings for our company’s blog. We can suggest topics and after you write each installment we will do final editing and post it to our blog. This would be a great gig for a college student or a work-at-home telecommuter with extra time and a desire to be a writer.

The pay is $50.00 per article, payable every two weeks. The articles should be 600 - 800 words long. You don’t have to live nearby but if that would be helpful in case we needed to meet from time to time.

To see examples of what we’re looking for go to the “Articles” link from our company home page at http://www.TrustworthyCare.com

If you think that this opportunity is a great fit for you, please respond to this ad by sending us a sample article that would be appropriate for the subject matter in our blog along with your contact info. We’ll let you know what we think right away.

Sorry to bore you with so many Craigslist job-hunting sagas, but I just felt I needed to share the following post:

Author for Personal Fitness book (Denver)
Reply to: gigs-741671441@craigslist.org
Date: 2008-07-03, 1:46PM MDT

I am looking for an author to partner with myself and a local gym. The scope of the book will be a diary of how I built my body naturally and with the training of a personal trainer to achieve a body makeover.

The goal is to achieve a body makeover and journal the road to it. The journal will be then short formed and edited. This manuscript will be the book and submitted to publishers.

The length of the project will be six months.

I’m looking for an author who has at least one published work and can work closely with myself and the gym to not only make a journal, but an actual book that encompasses my life, the lives of the people at the gym, and the ultimate product….a body built naturally by hard work and dedication.

A motivational book is the goal.
