Who doesn't need resources? The answer is everybody does. In case of writers it is even more
necessary. A writer needs to
be more learned than witty. The reason is quite simple. A reader expects the writer to give him all the correct information corroborated with facts. This is particularly true in case of a non-fiction writer where the strength of the abstract depends on the facts presented by him/her. And to be a good writer one needs to be a voracious reader. This is precisely what Mr. John Hewitt must have thought before putting up a website for the writer community. I admire the design of the site for the simple reason that all the required information is classified under various sub-headings and properly indexed. This is a site that is suitable even to a novice in writing. Well, the site is basically covering the employment opportunities and jobs specifically targeting the U.S. of A.
A prospective employer can post his/her writing offers for free. I wish that the editor of the web page make some efforts and try to cover the entire world so that the vision and mission are accomplished. The web page is well laid out in a column format with the Central column occupying double the space and at the same time featuring the most relevant job offers in and around U.S. of A. The left column on the page features the sponsored links as usually is the case with most of the sites; jobs available under various categories like freelance, technical writing, general writing, copywriting and editor, and also the openings in different states of U.S. of A. Organising the data in this format enables the browser to search for the required information quickly. The right column is dedicated to the articles section wherein there's abundant information on how to write articles, improving the writing skills and also the accredited writing program. The regular feature nowadays commonly seen on all the sites are the search engines that are also present here. Special mention needs to be given to the reciprocity section where URLs of similar sites are displayed that can be utilised for an in-depth search of job offers elsewhere. Finally, the alphabetic index of topics is another tool by which the browser can get a quick hold on the issues. By and large this is a must see URL, specially the writers.
