Current Needs: Resumes and published writing samples from journalists in the Puget Sound area with experience writing about home design or lifestyle topics. Please mail a resume and at least three published writing samples, along with a SASE or e-mail address if reply desired. Please DO NOT submit story ideas or manuscripts. Garden, wine and food columns are written by our contributing editors and are not assigned to freelancers.
Pay: Pays $125 - $375 for 300 - 1200 words.
Hints: Submit published journalism samples only--no college essays, poetry or fiction. Since we are a regional home design magazine, we prefer to work with writers in the Seattle area. Please don't send story suggestions--we'd rather assign topics to you. Common mistakes: correspondence that contains spelling, grammatical or factual errors. If you can't send a message without errors, how can I trust you to turn in quality copy?
Photos/Art: Discussed on assignment. Needs vary. Contact art director Shawn Williams at address above.
