I applied to DS recently and was told there was no work available for me. I understand that there are standards which I may not have met, but it strikes me as unlikely that I do not meet the requirements for this site. I won’t go on about my qualifications, but I have been working for respectable publications for a decade as both a journalist and editor. To be rejected by a site where the majority of contributors seem to be high school students and illiterates is insulting.

Hi everyone, I have never actually written anything for an outside source. When I tried to apply I noticed that I needed to include my resume. Should I even try if I do not have any freelance experience? Please help…

Thanx
Aileen

Hi,

I was wondering the same. I’m in the U.K and have been regularly checking but it seems Demand Studios aren’t accepting international writers still. I wondered if anyone knew if they are still planning to (soon)?

Hi
Just a quick question on any updates regarding Demand Studios working with international writers. Any ideas as to if and when they will accept non-US residents?
Thanks

Hello! Had a burning question about DS, and I thought you may be able to answer it. I just started with freelance writing and would love the stable income/experience. But when I submitted my application (with a link to a posted article I authored on another site) I got a response saying that they just didn’t have any topics/work in my area.
Now, I can totally take them saying “No”. Or even if they said to reapply with different material. But they didn’t. They just said they didn’t have any available topics/work for me. So do I spend the time and trouble to reapply with a different article? What “topics” are they actually looking for?
Thanks so much…

I’ve started writing for Demand Studios. It seems to be hit and miss. I’ve written some really good articles which were asked for re-writes. The re-write info was vague and then the article was rejected even though I did my best to comply with the re-write instructions. This has happened twice, most recently yesterday. It’s discouraging to spend the time to write and then re-write and have it rejected. I’ll still continue to write for them, but I don’t see how people can make 2k a month.

Not sure what this comment is getting at. I think it means international writers lower the standard (?).

Like US writers there are both excellent and poor international writers. There are US ‘writers’ who speak and write in inferior English.

If Demand chooses to remain US only that is their right. It’s not your right to inflict a narrow, unbalanced and uninformed attitude onto hardworking and capable international and US writers.
