Writers and Comedians needed!!!! Urgent.

Hi there, Donnie Rust your favourite Naked Busker is here. Firstly thanks so much to all of you who helped me with my tour and my Edinburgh Fringe show- both were surprising successes and have landed me a position as a professional writer for Endeavour Magazine (can I hear some enthusiasm?) www.littlegatepublishing.com

Now seeing as I have no idea what I'm doing- I need writers stat. Comedic writers, to put together articles in the monthly magazine. You do this for me and I'll get your work read by over 100 000 readers globally.

If you're interested let me know on here, this is a blank page so I'm open to suggestions and ideas but no time wasters guys.

Speak soon,
Donnie.

Well, Endeavour magazine certainly looks like it could do with a bit of gingering up.

What are they paying?

And this should really be in the 'writers opps' section.

Quite

No money no funny honey.

Me laugh you long time.

My portfolio is pretty small, kinda Arrietty from the borrowers size - but I'd love the chance anyway.

As for money. I accept supermarket vouchers, back rubs, and/or small animals.

The magazine is full of advertising - so someone's making some money.
But not the writers it would seem.

Donnie Rust. Can I just clarify this? You're now a PROFESSIONAL writer (this normally means you get paid). And you want comedians to send you material which you will publish in your column for which the author will receive only a name check.

What happens if your editor says "Your contributor Fred Bloggs is very funny. We want to replace you with him."?

I once answered an ad in the Stage from a well-known TV comedian who was commissioning writers to send him material. I sent him some marked "Copywright" but heard nothing. Two years later I'm watching a repeat of one of his shows where he spouted my material word for word.

If anyone needs something else to do, I've got some clothes could do with ironing? If you do this, it'll be seen by literally tens of people.

You don't state whether you're interested in time wasters?

Definitely interested in time wasters. Only if they can guarantee to waste at least an hour of my life (more for those who are lucky enough to be picked for the job). And give me their PIN numbers.

Then I'm ahead of the game as I've already wasted 30 seconds of your day. I also have some interesting crease suggestions for your Jeans.

A sad but common tale. But you could have claimed payment for that, or at least persued him. Sometimes it can have benefits, like simply getting your name heard in the industry. If you have the proof, go after them!

Yes it is rather ironic, the 'no time waster' bit.
What else do you call working for nothing?
