It's just a price list I found for someone selling writing. So for example if you wanted a short (250 words or less) article on Elizabeth Bathory you'd pay $6 and the person would write one.

Hell yeah i can match that. All the BBC articles i did I did for free.

Would have been nice to have been paid though. IM me if you want copies, I don't want to clog up your inbox with stuff that might seem irrelevant.

I'm a staff writer for the school's newspaper, so I can do anything from entertainment, advertisement, information, opinion, or pretty much anything else that needs to get done. If you need samples, I have a few opinion articles on my pc relating to war records in elections and civil unions. If you need samples of other styles, I'd be glad to provide samples based on a prescribed topic of your choice.

I run a newsletter for an website competition team. I do everything from editorials to interviews for free. If I were to be paid I'd say maybe $2 for 100-300 words (this is as a basis). I'll post a link to the newsletter after I get the November edition edited and up.

Let's try a sample ? You'll need to do each of these, and PM them to me.

1. short article about Elizabeth Bathory.
2. short story about a vampire dreaming.
3. site review about rue-morgue.com
4. short daily weblog entry.

So that means 4 different PMs. If you have questions, ask them by PM. This is a test.

Firstly, that price list was incredibly cheap. I'm amazed.

Secondly, I was watching this post out of curiousity... what's happen with it. How did the 'tests' go?
