First: Co-editor Julie Kazimer and I are looking for one new regular monthly contributor to the RMFW Blog. If we have several applicants, you get a bonus point if you’re already familiar with WordPress. You receive a second bonus point if you are funny (as in humor writing). And you get more points if you promise to be obsessively on time (as in getting your posts in draft or scheduled at least a week ahead of time). Regular contributors educate and inform, focusing on their writing craft or writing life areas of interest. Self-promotion is minimized. Click here for the current list of contributors.
Second: Starting in January, we also need at least two guest bloggers per month and sometimes more. The submission guidelines are posted under the Blog link on the RMFW website. We’d love to see some new faces on the blog this year. If you’re interested now or later, email us at blog@rmfw.org The guest bloggers are invited to add an author photo and recent release cover art to their posts, but should still aim to educate and inform.
Third: We need volunteers to participate in the Getting to Know You Project for 2017. For that one, we give you three questions to answer and request an author photo and social media links. Click here for a sample of the GTKY post from 2016.
RMFW Members Only: Occasionally we feature guest posts by conference keynote speakers, agents or editors, but those are rare exceptions. We want RMFW members for these open blogging positions. Doesn’t matter if you’re published or not. Doesn’t matter whether you opt for traditional publishers or prefer to do it yourself. Doesn’t matter what genre(s) you write. Doesn’t matter if you write under your own name or a pseudonym.
What’s Important: You have something of value to share with the world about writing craft or the writing life. You know your grammar and punctuation. You meticulously proofread your own work. You strive to meet deadlines.
