Writers Wanted!

[Drew]

Do you fancy yourself a writer, either amateur or professional? If so, Bisexual.com wants you! We are looking for folks with something interesting to say to write articles for us.

From 2004 until 2007 Bisexual.com published articles written exclusively for us by such prominent professional GLBT writers as Robyn Ochs, Holly Baines, Toko-pa Turner and others. We had to stop due to the costs, unfortunately.

On the new site we want to have articles done by amateur and professional writers who are looking for exposure or experience. Unfortunately we can't pay, but we will trade for Premium Membership on the site (coming soon), or advertising/banners on the site (if you have a GLBT business) or publicity for your book or blog perhaps. Basically Drew will trade anything but his body (and maybe even that) for articles!

We are already a self-publishing platform - anyone can start a forum thread, blog post, or group discussion, but if you want to polish an idea into something substantial then we would gladly publish it as an official Article and feature it prominently on the site.

Soon we will be featuring articles on the homepage of the site (as we did on the old site), so contact Drew today via the Contact Us link at the bottom of every page of the site with your article idea. Ideally articles will be self-edited or you will get a friend here on bisexual.com (or elsewhere) to edit it for you and give you valuable feedback, but time-permitting, Drew is willing to help you edit it.

The articles should be substantially (but not necessarily exclusively) about bisexuality or bisexual people, including but not limited to topics like:

• Interviews with bisexual artists and entertainers
  
• Opinion/political essays
  
• Calls for advocacy and action
• Reporting on the research and science of human sexuality
  
• Upcoming books and events, or reviews of the same, of interest to bisexuals
  

Help make Bisexual.com a beehive of ideas and culture concerning bisexuality and contribute to a better understanding of human sexuality both within and beyond the bisexual community.

Just out of curiosity, and perhaps on a completely different tangent here, would there be an interest in fiction at any point? I'm just wondering if any members would have any fun with a board of stories . .

If there is a demand for it, I am willing to create a new sub-forum for that. I think people do occasionally bring it up.

I am definitely up for that---I had offered to do something of this nature a number of years back. I will be on the look out for doing possible interviews with someone with expertise on the subject who might be coming to my area for some sort of seminar or something----with the end of the current academic year just around the corner and summer coming---it might not be until fall that I will do something---I to tend to get busy with all sorts of things come summer---but will surely consider doing something this fall again.

I do try to limit my online time during the summer season unless I am doing some stories, research for the stories, etc---sort of ironic in that I tend to do more articles and such during the summer covering outdoor events and such--but I then hate to sit down at the computer actually having to write the stories and then send them while in the winter--I don't do as much actual stories but spend way too much time online and on the computer!!

I'm sure I could scrape something together, maybe a piece on bi music or art.

I have a sheaf of signature pieces, but they would be long for here--running from 2,500 words on up. there's a swing site called swinglifestyle.com that has a good fiction story section--we might want to model after that.

[Coastocoast]

Drew I am a writer. I am not sure if you have specific subjects you would like researched or if you have other ideas. Let me know, I am interested. Thanks.

[tg Shannon]

I write bi erotica but nothing informative, if that helps?

[andyinboxers]

I also write bi erotica (fiction and my real life experiences)

[Cherokee_Mountaincat]

[welickit]

I certainly hope everyone has a spell checker and someone to take the time to proof read.

[still_shy]

Drew, I'm very interested in this. I would love to contribute to the site any way you need. Let me know!

[coldfire78]

Hey Drew, I don't know if you are interested in this, but I'm an ordained minister. I have been doing considerable research on the history of the Bible, the people, the societies, etc as well as the science and history of human sexuality and anatomy. I am about to start writing a book based on what I have learned. I have been able to successfully reconcile my sexual orientation with my faith, and I know the inner turmoil I had struggled with for years. I could probably whip out a few articles based on what I have learned, if you would like.

[Tappan]

Hi Drew,
Count me in, let me know if you still need assistance....

[RosettaMoon]

I have been writing since I was fifteen and have completed several novels on bisexual, homosexual and straight relationships. I have also taken several classes on human sexuality and have done much research on the physical and psychological aspect on the sexuality of heterosexual, homosexual and bisexual people. I also have an extensive medical knowledge on the inner workings of the human body as well as safe-sex education. I am often some one asks for advice on relationships, intimacy problems, road blocks in a relationship, sexual problems and so on and so forth. I have also worked briefly as a hot-line operator for an adult toy and video shop (won't disclose the name) to give advice or help with problems on certain products. I would gladly write some articles or have a Q&A if you are interested.

Hi Drew,

I am a writer, although mostly science fiction I have dabbled in erotic poetry and sex scenes. I am bi so can write for straight, bisexual or gay / lesbian audiences.

Hi Drew, count me in! I enjoy reading and writing! Beside motorcycles, one of my favorite pastime's ;-).

[Wynlvr1]

Hi Drew. I may be interested in this as well. When do you start and how do we get articles to you?

[Drew]

The current version of our software was supposed to have a publishing platform feature, but it was such a universal disaster that is basically unusable. It was so badly done that the newest version of our software doesn't even have that feature - they gave up on it. So no real articles system for now.

But we may do what we had with the first version of the site - a series of modifications that allow us to publish articles in a special sub-forum and show an exerpt from the most recent one on the front page - a poor man's publishing platform. Maybe in the next round of changes.

No new articles 'til then.
