Just out of curiosity, the requested content for the book review on detox diet... has a deadline of 25/05/05 did anyone submit before that date? Did they buy an article? Do they still want the article? Should they still be in the requested content bit?

Ta very much indeedy

Mattsterrr,

I wrote that article the first day it was requested and the buyer purchased it on the 28th. I believe the request is gone now.

Ah, it was obviously one of those critical deadlines that MUST be met, then.

Well done, though. I was only curious, I didn't fancy my chances with that one, I struggled enough with the Orthotics article I sold (Or... who?)

Has anyone ever sold any poetry or a short story on here?

Matt,

Never avoid writing for requests because it is a struggle. I have done that in the past, then finally wrote an article and it has sold. It's always worth a try. That diet book request wasn't an easy one. Instead of asking us to state the format, the buyer would have been better to state the format he/she wanted. I guessed and thought it wasn't going to sell, but then it did. It was an added bonus.

Like Grandma used to tell me and like I tell my grandsons, "If you don't try, you'll never know."
