A Nonfiction Fishbowl

FISHBOWL NOW CLOSED

at 15 out of 28+ prompts

I need your help. Freelance articles for Constant Content are my bread and butter and put beans on the table, keep a roof over my head, but the output required to earn that bread over there is something I haven't quite been able to produce without help.

FishbowlSo without further ado, I am offering a nonfiction fishbowl, in which you may prompt for blog posts, personal essays, research articles, anything between 500 and 800 words that you want to read or know more about. Ask questions, express wonderments, mention projects that need more documentation for how-to—anything you want. Some of my favorite topics include designing a Wordpress website for noncoders, myth and legend, natural health, tea, fiction, creativity, etc.

I figured out that I need to post two articles daily, which is fourteen articles a week, and roughly fifty-six for the month. Constant Content pays me about $0.05/word when the articles sell, and these go much faster when there's a good size backlist.

Prompting

  1. You may prompt as many times as you wish. If you prompt, I promise to write at least one piece to your prompt(s).
  2. If you prompt an article or blog post, I will send you a private copy of it in PDF format for your personal use.
  3. Any prompt is fair game, but if I do not feel conversant enough with a given topic, I may ask you to prompt again.
  4. I will reply in the comments to each prompt with the article/post title and a brief summary or teaser.
  5. I will post at least one blog post or article from the fishbowl on the website and make it freely available.
  6. All completed prompts will be posted on Constant Content for sale unless sponsored.

Sponsoring

  1. Want me to post something on this blog or see an article someone else prompted? You can sponsor an article for $0.02/word. I will offer reprint rights for sponsored articles on Constant Content, though as I understand it, full rights sell much better.Example Cost: 500 words = $10.00 and 800 words = $16.00
  2. Want a guest post for your blog or to purchase the content outright for your own use? You can purchase an article for $0.05/word. I will sell the article or post as work-for-hire and relinquish all rights to the piece.Example Cost: 500 words = $25.00 and 800 words = $40.00
  3. Want to read all of the articles and blog posts generated from the fishbowl? Donors of $10 or more will receive a private copy of all pieces in PDF format for their personal use.
  4. Want to donate to the fishbowl? You can donate any amount of $1 or more through Paypal or snail mail. If you would like to donate through snail mail, please send an email to info at lianamir dot com for the address.

Please consider prompting and sharing this fishbowl. I am hoping to produce at least 28 articles and get two weeks worth of work going.

Thank you for any and all support!
