This is great news. Vgal, thanks so much for sharing and being such an inspiration. And for the rest of you, I would venture to say she gets decent writing wages for this. But I feel sure she'd put her new contract in jeopardy by revealing the terms of the agreement. The best part is that it's a regular gig, with good wages. Those opportunities don't come around often.
Thanks all. Webgal, yes you are right. That is why I mentioned that I can't really go into details of anything, including payments. It's consistent, and something I wanted to write about, which makes it that much better.
Congratulations Vgal ! It is nice to see a writer achieving higher echelons. Hope to see your writings live soon.
As soon as we get started, I'll keep everyone updated here. The site is Planet Green (Discovery) and it is all bylined, so you will be able to see it.
That's great vgal because you are actually an inspiration for all of us heading for a spot at the top of the hill as other fellow members have already stated
So then say congratulations twice because your achievement and that of Vgal are the living proof that freelance writing is worth in each one's road to success. Congrats Mery!
Congrats vgal! Thanks for the inspiration too. I was about to give up since some of my prospect clients declined to hire me. I am now reading more about english grammar and punctuation to improve my writing skills. Your success story is really an inspiration.
That's amazing news, and I hope everything goes well for your launch. It's great to see environmental awareness go mainstream; we have just launched two solar-power sites, so we're on this topic right now. The biggest problem I see is a skeptical, conservative backlash from individuals who fixate on one aspect of the debate, such as the personalities active in environmentalism, or the data about global warming. The ethanol debacle is a perfect example. The corn it's sourced from is cheap, surplus cattle feed, and anyway could be better made from switchgrass or algae. Biofuel is really exciting technology, some high school students made it from seawater! Anyway, I don't know if you're writing only promo copy or actually choosing content for the show, but hit me up if you want to know about the latest in Alternative Energy. I get around to all the seminars and have been running biodiesel for over two years now.
Congrats on the gig! And you're right.....There's room for a lot of writers to have the same kind of success. My advice to writers trying to get started is to never quit...If you want something--Go out and get it, period!
That is exactly what I did it after a moment of reflection a while back, should I give up? I decided stop waiting an opportunity or trying to give up, if opportunities weren't knocking at my door I would move forward to get them. A practical application of an ancient Latin proverb introduced into the English culture during the Middle Ages, "If the mountain won't come to Muhammad, Muhammad will go to the mountain."
That is awesome! It definitely gives all of us hope that we can make a decent living as freelance writers.
Congrats! Please moderate yourself and don't speak much about that, somewhere on their NDA you might notice they will require you to keep private all your work for them, self advertising and they will drop you for sure! Good luck! Robert
Congratulations, VGal! That's awesome! It's always so wonderful to hear of another writer's success. Can't wait to see Planet Green!
Congrats !!! I don't know when I would get my first - the kiss of the death !! Haha... sounds clichy !!
