How can I find this type of employer?

[momchelle]

I used to write nearly full-time (though as an independent contractor) for a woman. This woman had a group of us who would complete articles on a wide variety of topics. She would post needed articles on a private message board and the writers would claim an assignment and complete it. I guess it was similar to how Textbroker works, in a way, except there were less than a dozen of us and we all got as much work as we wanted.

I would still be writing for her if she paid me for all of my work. She did pay me for several months (and rather fairly, I might add), but then she decided to scam all of her writers by pretending to have issue after issue and then ultimately not paying us.

Anyway, I would love to write in that same type of situation. I really dislike looking for and applying for writing jobs--I'd much rather work in a stable of writers.

So, does anyone have any suggestions for me as to how to locate this type of employer?

Thanks in advance!

You could try applying to some of the teams at Textbroker. Some have a smaller number of writers that handle bulk assignments.

Thanks for the suggestion--I'll give that a try.
