Telecommuting Jobs - update
A while ago, I signed up for Telecommuting Jobs for $10/year. So far, sadly, I have to say that the results just haven't been worth it. No one has contacted me, and many of the listings I've seen were listings I had already seen elsewhere. I didn't like the fact that the listings are undated...I had no idea how old the listings were, especially if they were gleaned from another source. I also wish the site categorized writing sites to make it easier for me to looking for the kind of writing jobs I was interested in. Don't think I'll be renewing my subscription, but will check in from time to time in case the site services have been updated. I'm sure the site helps some people, but it's hard to justify the fee and hassle when great freelance job boards like Freelancingwriting.com have better offerings for free.

Every Writer
Every Writer is going through a major revamp. New pay rates for material: $40 per feature, $20 for reprints. Looks like they're looking for new material as well as section editors. Some of the column links in the left-hand navigation bar didn't work when I tried to check them out, but I'm assuming these glitches will be ironed out in the revamp. The site already has a number of writing-related articles, such as "Contract Know-How: Get the Facts Before Writing Another Word" and "Behind The Desk of the Acquisitions Editorial Assistant".
