I did a search and did not find a thread, so forgive me if I missed it, and redirect me - but - has anyone worked with Interact Media? I did the application process and was accepted, but I have concerns. It appears you set your word rate and take assignments when offered. But there's this--
“Interact Media may also require writer to periodically submit… questions and answers for publication by Interact Media on one of their sites in order to keep their writing account active and keep access to writing jobs. Writer agrees to relinquish all ownership rights to all paid or unpaid content requested by Interact Media for publication on any Interact Media owned/operated website.”
So, in other words, they could say – write us some free material, we’re taking all rights to it, or you can’t get paid jobs anymore? And, with the vague “periodically” wording, they could do it anytime? As often as they like?
Should I run from this, or not worry about it unless/until they ask for free stuff?
