Well the title pretty much says it all.

Happyzine’s going global – because the whole world needs good news.  And we need lots of it.

I am looking for new writers, from all over the world, to inspire our readers with positive and heart-felt stories about the environment and about their communities.  I’m looking for grass-roots style blogs.  I’m looking for ongoing blogs about positive change that is leading to a healthier, happier and stronger web of life, world-wide.

These will be three month, once a week volunteer positions, though there is the potential to turn your blogs into ebooks that we sell on our site and other sites world-wide. Ebooks are very ‘hot’ right now, having just surpassed the sale of the old fashioned books world-wide on Amazon.com

What’s in it for you?

Value writing experience – we will publish your work and you will be able to list Happyzine on your resume;

The chance to tell your story to a community of readers with integrity in their hearts and a fresh, green future in their minds;

The potential to turn your work into ebooks that sell world-wide.

What to do if you’re interested:

Send a sample of your writing to me: [email protected] with a half page proposal of your weekly blog, which you’d need to be able to commit to writing once a week for at least three months.  Make sure the proposed blog is well suited to Happyzine’s style.  Make sure your spelling and grammar is great, as when you send in your blogs, if I like the story I’ll just put it straight up – I get too many stories through each day to check all the details.  Have fun with your proposal – the more personality and originality the better.  We’ll need one to three images per story.  Plus, if you write for us, we’ll need a photo of your good self and a 100 word bio.

    Westerners complain a lot. The media is all about cheap news which can be gathered with no effort and wars, politics and police dramas fill our ears and eyes.

    I write to inspire people, on my blog about growing food, living a happy life as well as making use of technology to do so. I do not mean to inspire people, I just write what I want to, but through the blog and in my real life people tell me that my positive approach has helped them in various ways.

    I also am a board member of Kitchen Gardeners International…. the people who got the Obamas to have an organic vegetable garden.

    I’d love to write for Happyzine. I have gathered a huge network of links and contacts and even went on a world trip to stay with all my new gardening friends in 2008.

    I look forward to your reply. Eat, Think and be Merry!

    Kate
