suite101.com - online magazine and writer network
Suite101.com is known in the online writing world as a respected site where freelance writers and journalists, as well as home-based experts, write and publish short, helpful, fact-based articles online. Suite101 features 20 sections such as Business & Finance, Film & TV, Health & Wellness, Travel, and Food & Drink. New articles are posted daily and advertising revenue from articles is shared with writers. This "dividend" or royalty style payment happens each month even if a writer adds no new articles.
