Come join in on the riff-raff at RVANews!

by Valerie Catrow

December 30, 2008

As we head into the new year (2009, wtf guys?) RVANews is looking to add some quality writers to its roster of contributors.

Perhaps some of you would be interested?

To limit a free-for-all of “Hey, I wanna do some stuff,” we’re asking you to email us with actual “ideas” for “stories.” If we like what we see, we’ll get in touch with you, you’ll write it, we’ll post it and then pay you a moderate sum of money for it.

So, send us your pitches. Bitches.*

All story ideas should be sent to info@rvanews.com. If you really want to help us keep things organized, put “content pitch” in the subject line.

*FYI, I spent a ridiculous amount of time writing this post so it could include that sentence. See the talent you’ll be working with over here???

Valerie Catrow is the former editor of RVANews who now spends her days raising her son, reading young adult fiction, and watching really bad television. When she's not contributing to our parenting column or ranting and raving on her personal blog, Made in Richmond, you can probably find her abusing the caps lock key on Twitter.

    Jack Gets Fact-checked

    Recently Jack Goes Forth issued a challenge to the RTD to send a reporter in order to verify the validity of claims laid out in his blog. This was in response to a published quote by a JGF reader asserting his disbelief in the proverbial sea of women and booze in which Jack chronicles his late night dips.

    Since the RTD is obviously too busy reviewing the food at local gas stations to actually take him up on the offer, why not have RVANews step up to the plate, er, shotglass? This would have the added advantage of extra Robot Hearts publicity (although I’m not sure it needs more attention) as well as demonstrating dedication to the local blog community.

    To answer the inevitable suspicions elicited by this proposal: No, I’m not simply looking to ride the coattails of Jack’s debaucheries into the wrinkled sheets of a random bar girl with questionable taste in men. I’m a sucker for monogamy, and as such am already in a long term relationship with a bar girl of questionable romantic proclivities.

    I currently write for RVA Magazine, so if this sounds like something you’re interested in, I’d be happy to send you some writing samples.

    Happy almost-new year,
