New Delhi, Tue, Sep 24 2008
Singapore based writing services portal www.writeforbucks.com is organizing first-of-its kind inter college writing contest for colleges in Delhi. Students from some of the prominent colleges in Delhi, including Miranda House, Lady Shriram College, Hindu College, KNC, Deen Dayal Upadhaye College, IGNOU, etc are participating in this contest.
With this writing contest www.writeforbucks.com launches itself in India to bring writers and publishers one step closer through this platform thus creating first of its kind marketplace for writing. Director of India Operations of www.writeforbucks.com, Ms. Sujata Parashar says, “India is a country with huge latent talent of English writers. We felt this huge pool of writers is not very well tapped. At the same time there are publishers who need writers on continuous basis. This portal intends to connect both by creating an online marketplace where writing services can be traded”
Various contests at different levels are being planned to pull in traffic towards the site and bring in awareness amongst the writing fraternity about this unique service. Ms. Sujata Parashar adds, “There is no stopping Writeforbucks once the target audience of writers and publishers realize the benefits of this service. It is a platform that can realize the vast potential of so far untapped writing talent available in the country.”
Responding to the demands for participation from other colleges in Delhi and colleges from other cities Ms. Parashar added, “In case other colleges want to be part of the contest they can contact www.writeforbucks.com. Since this is an online contest, if the demand is substantial these colleges can also be included in the list of participating colleges. |

As the tagline suggests this web portal is made to democratize the whole process of selling and buying Writing Services. It essentially connects writers with buyers of writing services on a common platform. Writers can bid on various projects posted on the website by the Buyers who would give in details like the nature, duration and budget of the project. The Buyers on their part just have to take a look at the profile and ‘sample work’ of the relevant writers who have bid for their projects and decide accordingly. The website acts as a catalyst to bring in a talented pool of writers (both budding & established), at one place for not only networking and sharing their work with each other but also to interact with their potential buyers in an online marketplace.
The primary audience of www.writeforbucks.com is in SE Asia, India and ANZ, with India being one of the main focus areas. The profile of content provider would include Professional Writers, Hobby writers, Freelancers, Students, Copy writers, Technical Writers, Story writers and other specialized category writers. The Buyers include Publishers, Corporations, NGOs, Web Publishers, Government bodies, PR & Advertisement firms and the like.
For a large country like India where the writing talent is available all across the country this marketplace is very relevant as it can play the role of converging them to one platform where they can sell their services to publishers. Similarly it will be a platform where publishers can scout for writing talent from a vast pool, thus giving them choice and quality.
In one sentence Writeforbucks is a one stop online platform to share, access, collaborate, consolidate and trade writing and writing services.
