Writing Opportunity-Journal of Canadian Studies

2009-09-09T19:46:00.001-07:00

The idea for the Journal of Canadian Studies/ Revue d'études canadiennes remains faithful to its original mission: to provide a peer- reviewed, interdisciplinary, accessible, quarterly source of scholarship in both official languages about any aspect of Canada.

The mandate of the JCS/ REC is first, to publish the best scholarship about Canadian history, culture and society, whether the researcher is junior or senior, living in Canada or abroad; and second, to serve as a vehicle for disseminating solid, original research about Canada that falls between the cracks of more narrowly defined journals.
The JCS/ REC was the first scholarly journal of Canadian Studies. It continues to fill a distinct niche among Canadian Studies journals, many of which are association journals, and most of which serve both foreign contributors and foreign subscribers, viewing Canada from the outside. Our journal publishes primarily (but not exclusively) the work of Canadian scholars, disseminating their research to both foreign and Canadian subscribers. Readers can turn to journals of Canadian history, sociology, politics and literature for specific disciplines' understandings of Canadian topics, to international Canadian Studies journals for how others see us, and to the JCS/ REC for a wide range of multi- disciplinary and interdisciplinary research being done in this country.
The Journal of Canadian Studies/Revue d'études canadiennes is also a part of Project MUSE.
Project MUSE is a unique collaboration between libraries and publishers providing 100% full-text, affordable and user-friendly online access to over 300 high quality humanities, arts, and social sciences journals from various scholarly publishers.

Write your Way to Riches

2008-08-07T17:05:00.000-07:00

Besides blogging there are a multitude of other ways to make money from your writing. I can't say that any of these methods is a sure fire get rich quick scheme, but who knows-perhaps you're the next J.K. Rowling?

If you're feeling extremely energetic, you might write journal submissions. For example,Teaching & Learning: The Journal of Natural Inquiry and Reflective Practice is a publication of research, thought, and experience in the field of education and the human services. This journal encourages the submission of: articles, essays, and critical commentary grounded in observed experience in natural settings; parts of reflective journals; situated descriptions on teaching/learning practice; action-oriented research; ethnographic studies; semiotic analyses; and evaluation studies. They also consider creative works focused on issues related to teaching and learning.

Not your cup of tea? Stay tuned for more breaking news about writing your way to riches.

Blogging for Bucks

2008-08-07T16:00:00.000-07:00

There are frequent emails that flit through my inbox offering positions making money from my blog, IF I am willing to pay for their list of directories that tell which blogs are searching for writers. At times, I have been tempted by this offer to save myself some legwork, but there is always that niggling doubt in the back of my mind-what if the list only has opportunities that aren't open to Canadians?

The great thing about blogging is writing = residuals. Unlike being paid once for fixing a loose door knob, writing can pay over and over again. One blogger received money as a result of an article he wrote 20 years ago.

There are several methods of making money by blogging.

1) Put together a blogger blog and insert adsense using the adsense tool. when I started blogging, this was the easiest blog type to set up.

2) Sign up for affiliate programs and include links within the text of your blog, or
place banners on your site.

3) Offer a free newsletter to readers in which you place advertising.

4) Use your blog as advertising for your offline business. For example, a veteranarian might write a blog about pet care.

5) Use a blogsite, such as Zenzuu, that shares its revenue with its members. Zenzuu is a social networking site like Youtube, but it shares 80% of its profits with active members.

6) Write blogs for blogsites that pay for your writing.

Once you get your blog set up, you'll want to increase your number of readers. More traffic= greater chances of getting bucks from your blog.

1) Tell everyone you know about your blog. Link a second Q & A blog to your main blog and write answers to questions people ask. Then, let them know when you've posted some info on your blog that they may find helpful.

2) Make sure your blog is registered on Google and other search engines and include lots of tags (labels) in your posts. (You can also increase the speed (frequency) at which Google crawls (looks at) your blog. Haabaa is another search (human-edited) engine to which you can submit your blog or website (scroll down to the free option).

3) Ask other bloggers to write about your blog. A good approach is to review someone else's blog and send them a message to check out what you've written.

4) Some sites offer the opportunity to place a link on their site in return for you placing their link on your site (reciprocal links). One such site is click2shoppe.com. Be sure to chose partner sites with similar or compatible products. (You will probably want to avoid competitors.)

5 ) Write articles for e-zines that allow you to include a link to your blog. Some zines I write for include: include kawarthatoday.com, eZineArticles, and eHow.

Start a blog today that will bring bucks to your inbox!

Now, if your feeling really energetic, you might try your hand at other writing projects. Check out my blog entry: Write your way to Riches.
