    This is not a job posting.

    I am actually looking for resources to find quality writers for a student loan site I run.

    Where do you recommend I look for writers that are currently in student loan debt and would want to share their story?

    Obviously you could post something up on craigslist or something similar, that could be an option. Alternatively, you could go out to a university, and ask some students if they'd like to share their story with you in exchange of a bit of cash.

    Perhaps check out blogger and other free blogging platforms and search for your key phrases to find young people already talking about their loans?

    I agree with Sims2. You can go and interview university students. Or you can pay someone to do the interview for you.

    I hope that helps. :)

    this is really good advice! I have two good writers already. the hard part about looking here is that i ask for writer swith debt and i get 100 people emailing me saying they CAN write about debt.

    big difference.

    I agree that the best way to approach students with debt would be at the universities or colleges.
    As for those who CAN write about debt, obviously they can't write at all... they can't even understand your requirements.
