I got the British Food gig which is awesome. I love it and it is demanding but hopefully in time, lucrative. I just enjoy being able to use a vast store of knowledge I have on the subject. Good luck with your ventures. I love your blog! Cheers Elaine Sorry for the delay in answering. I got the British Food gig which is awesome.

My ex-husband is the coffee writer over there. What topic did you get? It was lucrative and a great place to work, but after 6 or 7 years writing on the same topic, I was really burned out. I covered one of their spirituality topics, which was even tougher to stay motivated on because my religion became work for me. I still watch the list for new available topics :) Congrats.

I write tons of speculative stuff that never gets a reply or advice and I found the editor I worked with during prep, direct, supportive and encouraging. Maybe I wouldn't have felt this way had I been rejected who knows? By the way, if it is so lucrative, why did you give it up?
