Bulletin Board Blab 5.15.06

Catching you up on the most popular topics of the day:
“I am a freelance writer who has started doing some copy editing/fact checking work for a couple magazines and discovered I really enjoy it. I got the first gig by responding to an ad, then that satisfied client told a friend at another mag, who contacted me. I would like more of this work, but I’m not sure who to contact at magazines.”
“I have some great fictional work, and a great idea to pitch it to magazines. However, I don’t have any contacts, or any way to get my work read! Does any one have any ideas for who I can contact, and how I can get paid to write fiction?”
“How Do You Generate Ideas With A Fresh Slant?”
“I don’t understand pay ranges for freelance work”
And finally, in the AG-only forum: “Have you ever ghost-written a book?”
