Call For Writers: Help Wanted at OLV

help wanted

Many of you have let me know that you would be willing to help out around the site, writing articles, posting pictures, moderating comments and basically doing whatever I couldn’t handle myself. Well, it looks like I’m finally going to take you up on it!

To start, I am looking for people to write short articles related to filming locations. This can include a report about a recent set visit, news about an upcoming movie and where it is going to be filming (something like the article I wrote about the Facebook movie that is going to be filming in Boston) or, if you have another idea, feel free to pitch it.  I’m open to just about anything!

For right now, I can’t pay but there may be some other perks (I’m working on getting some good movie-related freebies and I always have “insider” info I may be able to pass along before its ever posted). For those of you looking to break into writing or web publishing, it could also be an added line on your resume!

If you have a blog and have an idea for a “guest post” send that along too. We may be able to work out a trade or I could give your site a nice plug in return.

If anyone’s interested, send me an email at olv@onlocationvacations.com with a story idea and we’ll go from there.

Thanks again to everyone who has been so supportive of the site! I look forward to hearing all of your story ideas!
