Lovely Girl   +  writing opportunities

Farewell to FWJ? April Fools!

Deb at Freelance Writing Jobs wrote a very heartfelt post about how she was done posting jobs for other writers. For a moment, I felt a sense of loss but also understanding that it's a huge undertaking for one person. Then I read the fine print... Good one, Deb!I couldn't possibly find the time to do what she does, but I do want to share a writing opportunity I had blogged about earlier . Here's an update from Kathryn at Imagining Ourselves (part of the International Museum of Women in San Fransisco):I wanted to notify you of a new opportunity for artists and writers. We are currently looking for content for our new exhibit theme: Image and Identity. In this theme, we wish to explore the role that physical appearance plays in our identity. We want to reach out to young women to amplify their voices, talk about issues such as beauty, body image, sexuality, and individuality. Do we identify ourselves with a particular group or culture? Do we categorize people based on their physical appearance? Can fashion be used to make statements about what we believe in? These are just some of the questions we will be exploring. Deadline is May 15, 2007. Click here for more info.Not sure about the pay, but it sounds like a unique collaborative opportunity (and let's be honest, while most of us insist we won't write for free, we've all been known to do a little pro bono here and there if the cause or topic appeals to us).
