Hi Erika,
This is a really good idea. Where do you get the vacancy info from? I would lov to try writing for at least one of them. Have bookmarked your site. Thanks.
Regards
Ketan
Hi, Ketan: Thanks for your comment. I'm not sure I understand your question about the vacancy info. I routinely visit sites to get the information. When I find out about an opportunity from another source, I always attribute it ("via placesforwriters.com," "via the New Pages blog," etc.). Hope that helps.
