Advertorial copywriter

Sonoma County Guidebook is looking for a writer with persuasive flair, to interview approximately 75 small business owners, then write 250-word "advertorial" profiles of their businesses. The business owners are primarily non-glamorous, blue-collar tradespeople --not winemakers or restauranteurs.

We are looking for someone with a North Bay background, as well as proven ability to write tight, stylish, "human interest" profiles for a sophisticated readership. This is a short-term project which we estimate will take one/two people three to four months to complete, working full time.

Start date ASAP

Writer for Musical Show Needed

Description: I am a musician creating a show incorporating music from around the world. (I play violin, piano and sing. I have a band of three other musicians and two dancers). I need a writer to create a basic storyline to unify the ideas I already have. The underlying message is that the drive for mastery is found in all cultures and music. This mastery is achieved when one streches human limitations beyond what one might think is possible. The music of the show centers on violin playing starting with bluegrass and ranging through Irish fiddle, gypsy violin, Indian and Chinese violin, modern jazz, electric violin and classical violin, all peppered with vocal pieces, piano and dance.

New York City Transplantation essay contest

Doesn't seem to be an entry fee. 1st place: $100, 2nd place: $50, 3rd place: $25.

"New York City Transplantation

Winning authors will be awarded a cash prize (1st place: $100, 2nd place: $50, 3rd place: $25) and the opportunity to read their submissions at a venue to be announced.

Deadline: Midnight, July 16, 2004
Submissions should be emailed to contest@nynewcomer.net

Rules and guidelines

As we are an exceedingly open minded bunch, we have formed no specific rules about how you’re going to interpret the contest theme New York City Transplantation. If you can work it out, for instance, that your moving to New York tells the story of your job loss, family insanity, or the great love of your life, then be our guest. Then again, if you wish to reference specific New York history, places, clichés, expectations, and the world of “If you can make it there…” that’s fine too.

What do we really, really want?

Surprises. Tightly drawn, engaging, character-driven, plot-driven essays that tell your truth (not necessarily The Whole Truth) about either coming to New York, or your split from the city. Writing that’s as strong on the page as it is effective out loud, as winning essays will be performed in front of an audience.

Other things:
~ Essays must be original and previously unpublished.
~ We regret that we cannot allow simultaneous submissions.
~ Enter your essay in the body of an email addressed to contest@NYNewcomer.net.
~ Length: 1500 – 3000 words
~ Entrants must agree to read, or allow a proxy to read, winning submissions at a small performance space TBA
~ Winning essays will be published in NYNewcomer's Insights sections
~ Questions or comments should be emailed to contest@NYNewcomer.net"

About Moon Handbooks
For more than 30 years, the award-winning Moon Handbooks series has been the top choice among independent travelers who want a unique experience, a new perspective—and a few new stories to tell.

The authors of Moon Handbooks are travel experts who provide a unique sense of place and insight into a destination’s culture, history, and social issues. Each guide contains not only detailed information on the best transportation, accommodation, restaurant, and sightseeing options but also custom maps and fascinating sidebars—all the tools travelers need to make their own choices and create a travel strategy that is theirs alone.

About Avalon Travel Publishing
Avalon Travel Publishing (ATP) was formed in 1999 with the merger of three independent travel publishers—Moon Publications (established 1973), John Muir Publications (established 1973), and Foghorn Press (established 1982)—creating the largest independent travel publisher based in the United States.

ATP publishes several major travel guidebook series, including Rick Steves, Moon Handbooks, Moon Metro, Foghorn Outdoors, Road Trip USA, The Dog Lover’s Companion, and Adapter Kit, as well as individual travel titles.
