It's a rare freelance writer who hasn't wished for a clone. Between finding ideas, finding markets, sending out query letters and—in many cases—dealing with a full-time job, there simply isn't enough time to get the most out of freelancing.
The Writers' Bridge can help a lot. Here's how. . .
1. You can send us your ideas for articles, or things you've
already published, and we'll help you find markets for them.
2. If you like, we'll help you with your query letters.
3. Should you get a writing assignment through one of these queries, we'll offer you a free "second pair of eyes" edit before the piece goes out.
4. We'll track those queries for you and remind you when it's time to follow up. If you receive a "no" from an editor, we'll find you another place to pitch.
5. You will receive a list of writing-related job openings each weekday, and an "Idea Bank" listing possible ideas every week.
6. We will contact you individually if we come across a job opportunity or an article idea that seems to fit your geographic region and/or area of interest. Those ideas are gleaned from over 450 Google alerts and other sources.
7. I am always happy to talk writing or brainstorm problems with any member. To me, that's the fun part of the job.
8. Your biography will be listed on our Website, and you can also take advantage of a page that spotlights member editing services.
9. We offer a monthly contest among members with a $100 first prize. The judges are also members, on a rotating basis, and they are paid $20 for that service.
10. The cost for all of this is $10 a month, about the price of a large pizza with one extra topping. We also offer a free get-acquainted month, with nothing to sign and no commitment.
TESTIMONIALS
"Darrell is a genius at finding story ideas and well-paying writers' markets. His company offers excellent value for a small fee. He is kind and personable, always treating you with respect and courtesy. I highly recommend using his service if you want to expand your freelance writing career. He'll help you get to the next level."(Lisa Cunningham, Tampa, FLA).
"Darrell's job opportunities and ideas for writers are great. His service, offered through The Writers' Bridge, is a great deal for the money too. A lot of the time writers spend searching markets can be spent writing. I know the other newsletters and services too. Darrell's is different and covers many additional markets. It's also very cost effective. I definitely recommend trying his service. You'll be amazed how much time it can save you and how many good opportunities he finds." (Penny Leisch, Austin, TX).
"At first I was a little skeptical-- what was TWB all about? But I decided if I wanted to write more I had to get my name out there more and make more connections so I submitted my information. Almost immediately, TWB hooked me up with an editor of The Concrete Producer. After that initial connection, it was up to that editor and me to work out the details of the contract. TWB took what was once a long and arduous process (sometimes taking months) to a quick and painless four weeks. Inside the month I had the assignment, the deadline and a check in hand--because of that assignment, I have written for other trade magazines in the concrete industry. (Kerry Miller, Alpena, MI).
"I am a TWB success story with my feature on small cities hosting sporting events that ran last April in American City and County Government." (Nancye Tuttle, Lowell, MA).
