Are you a libertarian writer who can produce an article on roughly a weekly or biweekly basis?  And you would like to get paid for it?  Would you rather use your time writing and thereby spreading the libertarian message than learning search engine optimization techniques (SEO), researching revenue generation methods, understanding visitor acquisition techniques, or devoting time to marketing?

from Reason to Freedom has moved to the Drupal content management system (CMS). We are now adding writers.

For consideration we request:

• Five,
• 1,000 to 3,000 word articles or columns,
• that promotes libertarianism and/or the non-aggression principle.

You will receive:

• 25% of your pages' gross revenue (payable to you or whomever you choose)
• Publicity opportunities for your work via our partner publications, including Rational Review News Digest and Freedom News Daily
• probable listing in over 6,000 newsletter emails (fully opt-in lists)
• RSS listing on 25+ news aggregation services
• if your article is selected, guaranteed 1,000+ page views for the week your item is on our home page
• depending on your page's content, between 0 and 5,000 ad views per month for archived material
• full authorship tag line and copyright retention

So, if you're interested drop us an email and make sure to attach five of your articles for review.

Best regards,

The change to Drupal took forever. The below list is not up to date and there are several people in queue not listed. Now that the site is switched over, this will consume most of my time until cleaned up. Best Regards, MJT

Under our current ad provider (Google) we have room for approximately 50 individual writers and 10 writing groups.

Writing groups are those collections of individuals who agree to donate their revenue to a specific third party, and as such share a common ad channel.  If a writing group has a large archival component and maintains some reasonable addition rate, the weekly/biweekly requirement will be waived.

As I'm the primary person wrangling Drupal into submission, providing immediate correspondence replies will be less than stellar.  While I'm a fairly quick read, until the new site is commissioned, I'm expecting to review no more than two people (10 articles) a week, and none of the writing groups.  After the site makeover, I can go back to my day job of marketing, promotion, SEO work, and normal publishing activities.  At that point I'll be able to up the rate to one a day and tackle the writing group(s).

Given that and to provide as much transparency as possible, I will be reviewing all of the below in date order received.  As each person is reviewed I'll send an individual email and remove his or her name from the queue.
