looking for freelance jobs in writing

This is the beginning of third year of an existence I never imagined I will be living- being financially dependent on someone.

I am absolutely at my patience’s end and am hundred percent sincere about trying any genuine free lance job on writing, that is I write and you pay, I am not keen to hit jackpot, fair payment will be fine enough for me. Money is not my target financial independence is.

I will like to clearly tell the robbers looking for fools to dupe to keep off – this one is too experienced to fall for your traps. I have tried for years to get a genuine, fair paying home-based job; the last time I was duped was in 2008 by a phony medical transcription institute, it gobbled up 30,000 rupee and almost an years hard work, left me really sick in guts. Well, I am ready to take chances again but no longer being fooled.

So, if any literary agent thinks that my works are worth it, I won’t mind sharing profits with him/ her; the percentage or fees for services will be negotiable. But please, don’t ask me to get a membership first, speak in trustworthy language. Or, any genuine publisher, publishing agency can gladly contact me, I will consider paying the fees if I think the offer is genuine and reasonable.

You can check out my blogs to assess my writing and contact me through my blogs.

  1. Merry Christmas. :)

    Hope you find some legitimate places to showcase your work. You can try entering contests where you don’t have to pay an entrance fee. Search out literary magazines where you live and overseas. Remember that the net can be helpful and useful, and yes, trickery. All the best.

  2. hi friend , you deserve all the best , your writing talent is amazing and I ‘m sure you’ll succeed as a freelance.welcome to my blog to read my latest poem after months of “inspiration drought.

  3. Heartfelt prayers and thoughts go out to you, Mish.

    Do you intend to seel your paintings as well, like people do on Etsy?

    Always appreciate your work and the fine, honest sentiments expressed.

  4. Mish, just FYI: If I’ve already told you this, please forgive me. Memory not what is used to be ~ You are the recipient of the Sunshine Award. For details link here:

    This is in honor of your very fine art and poetry, which we enjoy so very much.
    You have to scroll down in the post past the poem to get to the info on the award. I hope you’ll accept it and look forward to your own post on it.

    Hugs! ;-) … and thank you for sharing your beautiful spirit with us.

  5. Dear Trisha,

    I also wish you all the best for your desired job. Perhaps, you don’t remember me but I remember very well that I was a regular reader of your blog but when you stopped updating your Blogger.com blog I couldn’t follow your writings because I was not familiar with WordPress blogging interface.

    May you have all the best in both the worlds, ameen.

    Your brother,

    Sajid (Ibn Hanif) : http://www.voiceofnature.net

    • forgetting you is absolutely impossible my dear brother. hope you are regular in wordpress. in that case our friendship can be back to normal. Thanks for the wishes Sajid. I am not very optimist about this one, but I have left this message here dreaming about someone proving me wrong :)

      God bless you!

  6. It deeply saddens me to read of such struggles, especially with one who has such great talent as you in your writing. You are in my prayers for receiving the financial independence you so richly deserve. Blessings in your journey.
    John
    P.S. Thank you for being such a faithful follower of my own poetry work.

  7. sharmishtha, i enjoyed reading the legend about your name especially when devayani and sharmishtha mistakenly put on each other’s clothes, but of course there are no mistakes in legends. anyway, i’m taking an educated guess and thinking you are living in india since you mentioned rupee. i don’t how rents are in india, but over in canada and the united states…it’s a big rip off. my point is that if we didn’t have to flush so much money down the landlord’s toilet, we could work way less and make more than enough money to do whatever we want. but there are people who live in 8×12 rooms and make and sell glow ropes for a living.
    i do feel inspired by your efforts to be free from the rip off of it all.

  8. Try self-publishing on Amazone I think it’s nice idea for many here have their works published there. You have many blogs :) how can you manage all of them? I clap for you ;)

  9. (Thanks for the like)
    I can certainly relate to this post. Have you tried this site: http://www.wahm.com/
    They have a lot of work-at-home opportunities in a lot of fields, including writing. It’s just a lot to sort through and lots of research.
    Good luck.

  10. hi and guess what!? i’m here because i nominated you for the super sweet blogger award! you are always helping others with your posts and i love your poems :-) rules and avatar to copy/paste are in my latest post :-)

  11. Wish you luck dear , I am sure your magnetic work shall get the attention that it needs and shall also bring financial rewards too. Keep the karmic wheels oiled with passion and hope and salvation shall be yours …..

Please leave your blog URL/links with your comments if they are not included in your gravatar. If you don’t you will deprive me from one of my favourite things-returning your sweet gesture.
