Interested In Writing?
If you'd like to write on any the following subjects, but have no portfolio or formal experience, perhaps you'd like to try out with burtman.net!
I'm looking for guest authors to create posts on the following subjects, and I'm particularly interested in new writers who are looking for an opportunity to explore and develop their style.
Subjects of interest, at this time, are:
Van Related
* Van life in general (including stories, designs, build ideas, coping with difficult situations, and more)
* Electrical systems (solar systems, wiring guides, custom setups, repair and expansion of stock circuitry, and so on)
* Van maintenance and repair (replacing parts, dealing with problems, preventative maintenance, etc..)
General Topics
* Travel (for example; practical tips, or a journal of your own journeys, essays or short blogs, ideas, places you think people should see...)
* Freedom (in all its incarnations, including freedom of expression, speech, movement, etc.)
* Independence (self-reliance, homesteading, self-emplyment, living alone, growing your own food, etc.)
* Creativity and art
Specialist Subjects
* Dog care (particularly, but not only, in the context of traveling and adventuring with your best pal)
* First aid (for a new section on taking care of small injuries when there's no help available)
Entertainment
* If you like
Stories From The Road, or perhaps have a similar collection that you'd like to share, I'm considering including a section for guest story tellers!
* Humor (ideally related to our themes - not memes)
Terms
For the above "specialist subjects", I have a small budget available, to pay for articles. For the rest, I can only accept unpaid contributions, at this time, because burtman.net doesn't generate any real income - everything is paid out of my own pocket. As the site grows, and hopefully picks up support, I intend to offer some permanent, paid writing positions, which will be offered to volunteer guest authors for first refusal.
If you're interested in writing on any of these subjects, just send a sample of your writing to content (at) burtman.net. Your writing sample doesn't need to be related to any of these subjects, although it would be nice. All writers can include a reasonable (not overwhelming) measure of sponsored content and a link to their own website and/or donation platform (like Buy Me A Coffee or Patreon), but these things should not irritate readers (comments indicating that they do may attract editors).
Please note that articles created with the use of AI are not acceptable, because here, at Burtman HQ, we value real creativity, not the mimicry and copyright infringement of Satan's handiwork. If this statement confuses you, consider reading 
Artificial Intelligence Is Replacing Real Intelligence.
Thank you!
