GOLD at $5,000/oz?

I am looking for an experienced financial writer to co-author a book on the surging national
debt and its possible consequences, written for the General Public.
The Federal Reserve is throwing massive amounts of taxpayer money at financial problems
created over the past 20 years to avoid a system meltdown.
Will they succeed, or will the result of excessive money printing be runaway inflation?
Have we avoided a financial tsunami, or are we only in the eye of the hurricane?

Video Advocacy Grant/Proposal Writer (anywhere)

2009-11-03T15:26:11-05:00

We are a video production group based in Austin interested in speaking to a grant writer with experience in advocacy marketing. Although we produce a variety of videos, over the past few years we have been hired to create long-format (20 minutes or more) video series for government groups such as the Dept. of Health and the Dept. of Agriculture... and we love the work. Not only because the projects themselves generally come with longer-term contracts (stability!), but also because we genuinely enjoy creating video products that help alleviate or explain social problems. For creatives this is a great challenge and something we'd like to specialize in further.

We have wonderful relationships with our current clients, and are looking for more long-term alliances with non-profit or government programs who would benefit from our experience and technical skill. We are a full-service production group that offers services ranging from 3D animation, green-screen, HD shooting/editing, extensive experience working with child performers and expert translation services to name a few. In short, we are able to make really great video products from concept to completion.

We are in the process of re-branding and are looking for experienced grant writers who may be interested in speaking to us further. Please send your name, contact info. and a short bio - highlighting any experience that might parallel our services. And of course, feel free to include any immediate questions. We will contact everyone we think might be a good match for us with a link to some current work. We would prefer to collaborate with a freelance grant writer, please no solicitations from companies.

Thanks in advance, your time and consideration is most appreciated.

We want your story because it might work for our movie.

�The Incredible Power of Chance Events� is a new movie being developed by DocuCinema. We are going to take a look at the �random� events of life and see if there is a purpose or direction to the way things unfold. We are looking for stories about karma, destiny, fate and chance. Synchronicity? We want that, too.

This is a chance to tell your story.

Go to http://www.chancehappens.com and post your true story about how a totally random event changed your life. Did you meet your life partner, get a job or a big break by random meeting? How has your life been changed by something that came �out of the blue?� Do you think there is a meaning to random events that �just happen?� Are we destined to meet certain people or find ourselves in certain life-changing situations? Your story can be romantic or it can be about your big career break. It can be about something strange that has happened only once. Or it can be about something that just keeps on happening to you. But it has to be memorable, personal, have the twists and turns of drama and most of all � be completely true.

You can just tell a little bit of your story - a paragraph, just a sentence or two, or a little longer. Just provide enough to spark some interest in our fans and readers. You don't have to be a writer, but you do have to be a storyteller!
