Word Whores Is Looking for a New Whore!
*Ahem*
We mean, a new blogger. Word Whores (http://word-whores.blogspot.com/)
is the group home of seven bloggers, all loosely associated by the fact that we
all write some form of speculative fiction. Running steadily and successfully
for over two years, Word Whores enjoys a substantial following. We have weekly
themes and each of the seven of us posts on the same day each week.
So, what are we looking for?
Serious writers with a sense of fun. We named the blog for
the Moliere quote "Writing is like prostitution. First you do it for love,
and then for a few close friends, and then for money."
· Don’t let the name fool you—you can be male, female or any combination thereof.
· You can write in multiple genres (several of us do), but we ask that at least one of them be some brand of speculative fiction. We don’t really split hairs after that.
· You can be heavily or lightly published, or just earnestly working to get there.
· We don’t care if you have an agent.
· We don’t really care about your personal hygiene, either, as long as you don’t go into gory detail on the blog.
· We ask for at least a one year commitment to writing posts to go up each Saturday, preferably by noon, Eastern Time, U.S.
· By specifying U.S. there, we mean to indicate that you could totally be a non-US resident.
· Of course you can schedule posts ahead of time.
· Weekly themes can always be perverted (heh heh heh) or ditched entirely to pimp book releases.
An application form can be found down below:

Do you have what it takes to be a Word Whore? Oh yes, you
know you do.
