I have considered starting something because lately I’ve turned away more work than I can handle. Would have to figure out how to make it work and be beneficial to everyone involved. There are definitely legitimate opportunities out there and they’re paying a lot more than the content mills.

That La Guardia editorial services site looks interesting, think I will apply there. Have you ever considered creating your own editorial service, Michelle? Most of the aggregators pay extremely low, someone just asked me to write articles for $7 each and I decided not to take that offer.

Another avenue for magazine publishing is Hewlett-Packard’s MagCloud project. You send them a PDF, they list your magazine on their Web site (mine are at http://bkswrites.magcloud.com), and when someone orders, you get whatever price you’ve set for your work, less only 20 cents a page. Having worked on a corporate mag and continued with QuarkXPress software, it’s almost dangerously easy for me.
