About.com Crochet
From Amy Solovay, your Guide to Crochet
I have some fantastic news, everyone! We're planning to expand our coverage of the crochet topic to include more patterns. With that in mind, we're currently seeking an experienced crochet pattern designer.
Contributing Writers -- Overview
The official title of the position is "Contributing Writer." The link above takes you to a general overview describing what it means to be a contributing writer with About.com.
Compensation
This is a paid opportunity.
Please note that the 12 article minimum mentioned in the compensation overview will not apply for the crochet topic; we've worked out a different schedule due to the labor intensity of creating crochet patterns. We're asking for a minimum of 4 original patterns per month, plus any necessary supporting materials (including stitch tutorials and definitions of unfamiliar terms, as necessary.)
