Writer’s Weekly Examines Examiner.com

In: Freelance Writing| Site Review

14 May 2009

As I said before, I write for Examiner.com (though lately, watching the bottom line flatten, I haven’t been such a good examiner.) This week, I happened to notice that one of the writing newsletters I receive, Angela Hoy’s Writer’s Weekly, decided to conduct a thorough examination of Examiner.

They did not like what they found.

For anybody considering writing for Examiner.com, I highly recommend moseying right over here and reading some testimonials from other Examiners. Some were happy with their lot, some were morose, some were outraged. All told it like it was.

If you haven’t already, I also encourage you to sign up for the Writer’s Weekly newsletter. Even if it weren’t jam packed with useful information, the Whispers and Warnings section alone would be worth the three seconds it takes to sign up. Whispers and Warnings strives to hold scammers accountable for their crimes and is a great place to check on and/or report a suspicious client, agent, or publisher.
