about.com seeking rose person

**K*@aol.com**

Amy at About.com sent me this last week, and as this list has been so  
helpful to me today it occurred to me that someone here might be  interested. I did 
consider it, but 15 articles a month would exhaust my rose  knowledge, not to 
mention my sanity, in a matter of weeks!
Maybe one of you are better qualified,
The official post is somewhere on the site, but I couldn't find it so let  me 
know if you want the email address,
Kate

  Seeking Contributing Herb Gardens  Writer

Wednesday, February 25, 2009
The Staff at About.com and I are  pleased to announce an open call for a 
Contributing Writer on the topic of  Herb Gardens. Here is the official 
position  description:

"*Contributing Writer*
GuideSite: Herb  Gardens
Subtopic: Rose Profiles

*Qualifications: *

About.com is  looking for a professional writer with a thorough knowledge 
of Rose  varieties to write for our Herb Gardens site: 
http://herbgardens.about.com  <http://arthistory.about.com>. The 
successful candidate should be  willing and able to work in a 
collaborative environment with an editor and  the current Herb Gardens 
Guide.

The contributing writer will need to  be capable of expressing 
complicated concepts in simple, practical language,  and write for a 
non-academic audience. Candidates should have previously  published 
writing – either online or in print – and be proven experts on  Rose 
Gardening.

*What to Cover:*

Create one page profiles  of Roses, both historical as well as new 
varieties.

Since this is a  very visual topic, please make an effort to include 
images whenever  possible.

*Things to Avoid:*

Please make sure not to duplicate  content that’s already on the Herb 
Gardens site. Avoid using jargon, or any  language that is intimidating 
to novices.

Of course, plagiarism and  copyright violations are not tolerated."

Interested? To be considered,  please email me. Tell me why you'd be a 
good fit--and please, read the site,  be familiar with my style and 
trying to understand what us working  collaboratively would mean. 
Important: /Paste your resume or C/V into the  body of the email/.

Thanks, and I look forward to hearing from  you.
