Hello, I'm new here but am loking for some advice.
Last year, totally on a whim, I decided to submit a sample to Politicalbrew.com. I had never done humor writing before, but I was bored and interested...it probably helped that one of my favorite authors is Dave Barry.
Anyway, I was totally blown away by Mr. Patel's offer in reply...$500 for an 10-week series, if I was up to it. Immediately, I accepted, and had a blast.
I submitted this column to the Penn State newspaper, and now they want me to write a weekly humor column for them.
What I'm respectfully asking you folks for is some advice. Can you read my previous work, and tell me your opinion as to my ability to possibly do more of this work? I got great response to my column as it ran online, but I'd like the opinion from some people who seem to have been at this a while.
Should I start soliciting writing offers from other websites? I never thought of humor writing as a quasi-career before, but now...
