I just received all of my paperwork to be completed for a new contract I landed, whose parent company is The Discovery Channel! I'm very excited to get started with this job, as the subject matter is one that I have been trying to find a gig writing for. We've actually been talking for a few weeks now, but it has just now all come together. I'm thrilled to have been put on this team, and am anxious to help them kick off an amazing premiere! If you're a writer getting frustrated, don't give up... keep pushing ahead, talking to others, learning, and writing - it will pay off!
hey congrats..whats the topic on which you were writing..let me know when u willbe coming on Discovery Channel
Hi, thanks. It is for a new channel that they are launching called Planet Green, and will be writing for the website - not scripts and like for the show. They are a wonderful group of people. If you have any interest in friendly, green lifestyles and concerns, check out their site and watch for the premier!
AWESOME! Congrats. So I am going to ask the question that everyone wants answered... How much they paying you =)
Congratulations! And those couldn't be truer words. I'm glad to see someone sharing a success story for others here in Web writing.
I'm not positive if I can share the answer to that question Better to be safe than sorry, and don't have time to go study the NDA again. It's better than some others out there, though. Yes, I thought and hope that it may be of some inspiration to someone...
WoW, congrats as you've finally achieved what you're looking for after a long search journey... If you didn't mind, can you please PM me the link of the site, as I'm also one of the Eco-Green lover/supporter. All the best to your venture, my friend.
Sounds like you're really happy, so congrats! Writing about something you have a passion for and getting paid is the ultimate.
At this point, we aren't in full swing, but still in prep. I'll let you know what I can as it unfolds.
Thank you latoya. If you're still on when you see this, please shoot me a PM/IM... I have a question for you.
Congratulations on the new job! Discovery Channel is pretty much one of the only things I watch on TV nowadays, and I do actually check out the website from time to time.
