Subject: Holiday Articles for Stickyminds

Hello Folks -

This email actually *is* intended for the writing about testing list.

Getting holiday articles for Stickyminds is hard. They can be comedy, and that's okay. They can use comedy to address real questions - like a good New Years article might. They can be parody, they can have a hint of religion, the pursuit of Truth, or, more likely, more than a hint of the secular.

Recruiting these articles can be really hard.

So I'll sign you up in advance. Right now, I'm looking for Haloween, which could be harvest time, kids treats, scary stories, or, perhaps, the eve of the hallows, which is actually the holies, part of the Christian holidays of All Souls, All Saints, and All Hallows. (There's a myth people get wrong!)

I'm also looking for Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, and April fools. If you want to do diversity post, say for Martin Luther King day, that's fine too, I'd appreciate that - especially diversity articles written by minorities. I'm reluctant to publish upper middle class middle aged white guys telling other people what to do, for reasons I hope are obvious.

It's begging for a rewrite, but I think this piece tells you the basics of what you need to know to submit a proposal:

Submit proposal to me. I can answer most questions here; compensation let's do offline. We can provide you with some beer and pizza money, and it is the same for everyone.

regards,
