I was just about to post a thread on when to turn down work because you don't believe in the company/product/client.<BR/><BR/>I'm terrified for our industry. We're sinking into a low-paying market because some writers will work for places like those term paper mills. Shame on them, and shame on the kids who cheat to get by.<BR/><BR/>And if I were writing erotica, I'd have a pen name like Ginger Delilah. :))Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18045985667596964511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1299053910466115973.post-33511362936544286132009-03-30T13:28:00.000-04:002009-03-30T13:28:00.000-04:00Hi Devon,I don't think there is anything wrong wit...Hi Devon,<BR/><BR/>I don't think there is anything wrong with erotica; I personally don't write it. I hesitated to put it on my "ethical" list because I certainly don't find it offensive as I do the other two examples. But it is a form of writing I made a decision not to pursue.<BR/><BR/>I know that erotica is a big money making industry and have a couple of writer friends who do well writing for clients who need well written copy. <BR/><BR/>I'm happy to know a writer with ethics like yours - a lot of people would have jumped at the chance to land a six figure job - regardless of what they ended up writing about.Kimberly Benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08163102442191692386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1299053910466115973.post-65485818599539630252009-03-30T13:06:00.000-04:002009-03-30T13:06:00.000-04:00What's wrong with erotica?

Erotica/romantica/erotic romance fields are both fun arenas in which to write with huge readerships, and, frankly, most of the publishers treat their writers quite well -- the legitimate ones, anyway.<BR/><BR/>I don't write for term paper mills, either.<BR/><BR/>I don't write for content sites that pay pennies per dozens of words. <BR/><BR/>I turned down a six figure job a few years ago because the company wanted me to write copy to promote something I felt (and which was backed up by research) was detrimental to people's heath.Devon Ellingtonhttp://devonellington.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
