    We are looking for great tailgating writers who can write about tailgating either College or NFL in your area and include pictures with the articles. This would be an ongoing opportunity with a great new magazine. Must have writing experience and love tailgating.

    This is a paying position as an independent contractor. Respond to Marcheyman@comcast.net if interested. Please include your area of interest and any experience you have.

    Pay is based on the quality of the writer, as we are not a one size fits all type of company. Please email me your resume and any sample articles you have done and we would be more than happy to talk further about this great opportunity.

    In other words, we pay little.

    That is absolutely not correct, if you have experience we will pay a very good amount, so before you criticize why not present your work and we can talk further.

    We actually pay what I feel is a very generous amount, so before criticizing us why not present your work to see what is available.

    There is absolutely no reason not to provide the name of your magazine. Well, that is, unless you have something to hide.

    Our magazine is Tailgating Digest, we are based in Maryland. We will be launching in Spring 2012 and be publishing bi-monthly in print and online. We have several very large partnership in place for national distribution. We have partnered with a very well known and respected website, Tailgating Ideas, we also have several well known tailgating writers on board as of today.

    We are looking for a few additional freelance writers who has written sports/tailgating articles in the past. I can not give a specific pay rate as it will vary based on experience of the individual, however, I encourage people to contact us and we will gladly go over everything in more detail so I am not writing a book here.

    I hope that clears up any of the previous complaints above, as we want to be open, honest and will without question be creating a great magazine. Who wants to join us in the journey ahead?

    Thanks, I wish I could give exact payment amounts but it really is based on level of experience and if someone can also submit pictures with their articles.
