  68. Good Old Boat magazine -7340 Niagara Lane N, Osseo, MN 55311. Email: karen-at-goodoldboat.com. Website: http://www.goodoldboat.com. Karen Larson, Founding Editor. “Good Old Boat magazine focuses on maintaining, upgrading, and owning cruising sailboats built anytime since the late 1950s. Readers see themselves as part of a community of sailors who share similar maintenance and replacement concerns that are not generally addressed in other sailing publications. Our readers do much of the writing about projects they have done on their boats and the joy they receive from sailing them.” 90% freelance. Welcomes new writers. Circ. 30K. Bi-monthly. Pays 60 days in advance of publication. Publishes ms 12-18 months after acceptance. Buys First North American rights. No reprints. Responds in 2-6 weeks. Sample free on request. Subscription $39.95 per year in the U.S. and Canada; $49.95 overseas. Guidelines online at http://www.goodoldboat.com/writers_guidelines.
    CURRENT NEEDS: “Short articles about simple projects they’ve done on their boats.” Pays $50-$700 for 300-5000 words. “Email and letters, query or completed ms…all are fine. I prefer not to receive phone calls.”
    PHOTOS/ART: “We pay $100 for covers. Most other photos are included as part of articles we purchase. For covers, we still prefer slides shot with Fujichrome Provia 100, Kodachrome 64, or similar films. For everything else, we are happy with slides, prints, and electronic images. Please turn off the date stamp. It is difficult to remove that from your photograph. It may render a photograph useless, in fact. Never send a photo that has been printed on an inkjet printer. Send the electronic (digital) image instead. Electronic photo files must be high resolution — at least 300 dpi — to be usable for print reproduction. 4.2 to 6.2 megapixel cameras are up to the task with their high-resolution settings.”
    HINTS: “Short technical articles about projects done on your own sailboat are the best way to break in. Everyone wants to write Cruising Memories and Reflections articles. We receive way too many of those. Please keep in mind that you must be a sailor to write for us.”

Oscar “Hank” Will, Editor. 90% freelance. “Grit has been re-designed to focus on rural lifestyles, country living and small farming. We are looking for useful, practical information on livestock, gardening, farm equipment, home-and-yard improvement and related topics. We also offer some nostalgia articles in each issue – what it was like living on the farm in the Great Depression, how the family kept the peace during holidays, etc. What we expect from anyone who wants to write for us is that they know what the magazine is about.” Circ. 130,000. Bi-monthly. Pays on publication. Byline given. Buys shared rights. Works at least 6 months in advance, so no last-minute submissions, please. No unsolicited manuscripts, assignments only. Send queries by mail or email. Sample copy for $4 and 9×12 SASE envelope (with at least $2 in postage). Subscription $19.95/year. “Writers guidelines are being reworked, but will eventually be available on website.”
    CURRENT NEEDS: “We no longer accept fiction or poetry submissions.” Pay varies from $75 for a short, newsy article for Grit Gazette to $750 or more for long feature articles. We negotiate individually with writers rather than paying a per-word fee.

As always great list! Job #5 though from ODesk is $100 for 80 to 100 pages. I’m not even sure that one should make the low pay list.

Thanks for the heads up… wonder if they’d pay more? Oh never mind… I’m not going to ask ;) Thanks again.

Have you received any complaints about the first job in your list, that’s titled “Need Article Writers?”
I received an e-mail back on that one and was told I should go to a website that appeared to be a legitimate website for window installation other such work. I was to leave the contact information and act like a “mystery shopper”
I was told to definitely pretend that I wanted the service and then submit a paragraph in reply “to show my writing skills.”
Sounds a lot like they’re accumulating those one-paragraph references that you see on many sites and that I saw on this particular site, though I could be wrong.
I told the contact that it seemed weird and asked why my e-mail or a writing sample couldn’t serve as a contact. After a couple of e-mails, I was told the positions have been filled.
Anyway, the red flag was blowing straight out on this one.

Bob, I suspect you’re absolutely right… the problem will be that “need article writers” is so generic it’s impossible to figure out which are the bad ones… your warning will help… Thanks – A
