Imperfect Parents wanted

We’re looking for writers here at the Imperfect Parent blog. Or “bloggers” as you kids might say; folks that will do some “blogging”. But I’ll be having none of this newfangled noun into verb morphing around here. That goes for “texting”, “googling”, “tivoing”, “sledding” — you’re all dead to me… AND GET OFF MY LAWN!
Ahem.
ANYWAY, we’ve been focusing on growing other aspects of the site, and the blog is feeling a bit neglected like that house plant in the corner that you keep forgetting about. So we’re looking for some talent to water our blog for us. Could that be you?
I would detail the type of writer/writing that we are looking for, but I think it’s a fair prerequisite that you should already be familiar with the style/tone/attitude of this website. (Here’s a hint. Here’s another one.)
This is a (very, very, did I say very? moderately) paid gig. To not waste anyone’s time, let me be even more specific — if you’re looking mainly for an experience that will get your name and writing in front of a wider audience while collecting a sum of money that might buy you a couple bags of generic groceries every month, then you’ll be a happy camper. If you write to pay the heating bill, then either buy a warmer coat or take a pass, as this won’t do it.
If I’ve piqued your interest, give me a jingle and let me know why you would be a good fit, along with a writing sample or a few links to blog posts you’re proud of. I look forward to hearing from you.

Who are all you people who think that they are better than Kate! She has things the way she wants then and since she is home all the time with the kids, I don’t think that is too much to ask! Jon has said specifically that he does get his haircut at the same time as the children just to save HIS time! If he wanted to go somewhere else I think Kate would let him. Kate does an awesome job with her children. If you can’t raise two children without help, think how she feels with eight.

Um, Nichole, I think you’re in the wrong room.
Jon & Kate Mania is two doors down on your left.

Hi Prescott,
In my blog I focuss on teaching parents how to give young people a high degree of respect and autonomy, without spoiling them. It’s comical at times, and highly unusual. I would love to share some of my talent with your site; It would helpful to me if increasing my site traffic is also and option. Take a look and let me know.
Thanks!

Heehee. How often do you see a typo in a request for a writing opportunity?

Tsk. Tsk.
Well, as long as your profanities are spelled correctly, then it’s OK I guess!

Prescott don’t be so hard on yourself. It is not true that one cannot make a lucrative career out of writing for IP!
I myself have now saved up and can buy that pizza I’ve had my eye on
The real benefit is that unlike my other, family-friendly gigs - I can cuss here with impunity!

Wow, sausage AND pepperoni? Am I too late, or have you already filled all the available spots?
