Writing Opportunities

Before I go on to plug the opportunities I received in my email, I just want to remind everyone (Dads included, especially if you're doing it alone.) that GENEROUS 'zine is accepting submissions from moms who loved their kids but wanted to kill them at the same time and now you're so proud of them, you have to tell someone.  Inquiries can be sent to contact@crazations.com (please allow 48 hours for a response). 

DISCLAIMER: The following sounds like some decent writing opportunities.  I am not being paid by anyone to post this and do not assume any responsibility as to the integrity of the companies listed below.  if you experience shenanigans, contact your local BBB  and tell them about it.

    This is again another important point that we do not attach enough importance. If you are looking to put forward your opinion, always write for your audiences. Write small sentences to prove your view point.
