* Best wishes from Santa Rosa, CA. I am really excited about being one of three finalists in the National Best Books 2007 Award. My book was listed in the Seniors/Health section. I wrote a self help book for seniors called Senior Moments, The reception was so positive that I was asked by many seniors to write another similar book. I did. That was More Senior Moments, the finalist in this contest. I wrote these books to help other seniors like me deal with the problems of aging. I am 78 years old myself and have severe arthritis. It is satisfying to be able to continue to help others at this age. I was a family counselor for many years and it is good to continue to make a contribution to our beautiful world. Thanks for the opportunity to share this good news
Dave
* I'm just about to start a monthly senior's column in a local community newspaper ... first issue is
in December ... and will be on the lookout items of interest for seniors. All ideas will be appreciated, even if I don't get to use them (12 columns a year doesn't leave a lot of room!, but I'm hoping to expand it a little)

* Soap Opera Recaps
PAY: $25
Soaps.com is considering applicants for substitute writers for Passions. Being a substitute writer for Soaps.com would entail the following: If our Passions writer takes ill or needs time off, we'd need a temporary replacement. We would then call the sub to fill in. The pay is $25 per update for all shows and pay is via cheque, paid either on the 15th or the end of the month, depending on
what day(s) you work, through "Women United Online". Subs for Passions must have DirecTV. Must have a reliable and fast computer and internet connection, a telephone, cable television and must be flexible. Must have a reliable email address and use ICQ or yahoo in order to converse. Must adore the soap opera(s) they are applying for and watch them currently and consistently. Subs will view the soap opera program(s) and write an in-depth daily recap of the show, "showing"
rather than "telling" what happens, after it airs. You will post it in our user friendly online interface with photos from your TV Capture card, if you have one or we will provide photos for you. Recaps should be 1.5 to 2 pages long. We provide tutorials and walk-throughs. We also ask that USA Citizens fill out a w-9 and Canadians fill out a w-8 for tax purposes and a run of the mill contractual agreement. Excellent online research skills is very helpful to have, in addition to knowledge of Photoshop or experience with any other image-editing software. When a current writer is ill or needs time off, our Editor-In-Chief will email, phone or ICQ you to request your assistance. You
are also welcomed to volunteer for Passions moderating positions in our message board. Although we have no way of telling you when and if we'll need you as a substitute, we can assure you we will try to give plenty of advance warning. If you are interested, please send a resume, three examples of your writing, and a sample update from Passions, to Christine Fix at mailto:soaps2006@gmail.com. To check out how the updates are written, before you send in your own sample, please visit the website, http://www.soaps.com
* The Back Alley
PAY: $20
A webzine devoted to the hardboiled and noir genres of popular fiction. We welcome submissions of stories which fall within the guidelines of these genres, and historical/critical/analytical nonfiction related to these genres. The discussion, even among those who are well-read in these literary forms, surrounding just what constitutes hardboiled or noir fiction is ongoing, often confrontational, and seldom results in anything resembling agreement. Basically, hardboiled crime fiction involves a stronger description of violence, sex, and contains harsher language than you might find in traditional crime fiction. The protagonist more often than not is a private investigator. This investigator may fall under the tradition of Chandler's Marlowe and his successors such as Lew Archer and Spenser, in which the crimes are vicious but the detectives are not. They may more closely resemble the work of Carroll John Daly or Mickey Spillane, where the detective is as likely to engage in violence as the criminals are.
http://www.backalleywebzine.com/
* The Dollar Stretcher
PAY: $.10/word
A group of publications dedicated to "Living Better...for Less". The goal is to provide readers with ways to help them save time and money.

* Connecting: Solo Travel Network
PAY: $25 +
Connecting: Solo Travel News is a bi-monthly, 20-page e-zine that provides tips and encouragement for traveling as a single. Readers are all ages, 18-80, single, divorced, widowed, and some are happily married to spouses who don't care to travel. Some of us are more adventurous than others. Some are less agile than they once were. Some are novice travelers, and some are seasoned travelers. Some don't want to travel solo at all; they want to join single-friendly group tours or packaged holidays without having to pay expensive single supplements. Some want to find a compatible travel companion. Some want inspiration for going solo and information on safe, affordable solo vacation alternatives. The one unifying factor is that we are all looking for comfortable, economical ways of traveling alone, which is the most important thing to keep in mind if you submit an article to Connecting.

* What It Costs
PAY: $50 - $100
We're a new company: www.whatitcosts.com We're looking for web content writers to write part-time on a contractual basis. Visit our website to see examples of what we're looking for. We don't care what a new HDTV costs, anyone can find that anywhere on the web, but try finding the cost of something like- "What does it cost to have a 75 foot tree removed from my backyard?" You won't
find that under a Google search! You'd have to call companies in your area and get quotes, many times from high pressure salespeople. This is what most people end up doing after a frustrating time on the web looking for ballpark estimates for what it will cost. In addition, we have categories relating to adventure travel or topics that you don't normally don't come across on the web, such as "What it costs to take a submersible to see the Titanic" or "What it costs to become a Ninja". The qualities in contract writers we're most interested in are creative writing, humor, and the ability to research a cost-topic and organize your research in a readable format. Unlike some Web companies that offer a percentage of (sometimes non-existent) ad revenue, we pay per content
piece. If you sound like a a good candidate to us, we'll send you a topic. We pay $50 per topic for the first 10 articles we accept, increasing to $100 per topic when we accept over 20 articles from you. Worst case scenario: we select you as a potential writer, we send you a topic, you write 1-2 pages of content after researching it, it's not a good match for what we're looking for, we send
you a thank you note and a check for $50. Best case scenario: we select you as a potential writer, we send you a topic, you write 1-2 pages of content after researching it, we like it, we send you a check for $50 and a new topic to write, repeat (on an increasing sliding pay scale we'll detail to you with your contract, up to $100 per article after 20th article is accepted). Send us a writing sample
or a paragraph about why you'd be good at this to: mailto:admin@whatitcosts.com
* Arc Poetry Magazine
