Inspired by Peter Shankman’s Help a Reporter Out service (http://helpareporter.com/), we’re starting a similar service aimed at Australian writers and reporters. The idea is that everybody is an expert in something, and that social media networks on the Internet can help connect writers with sources for their stories, books and other writing projects. If you’re a writer based in Australia, please join our Facebook group and forward your requests (see ‘Guidelines for reporters/writers’ on the Discussion Board for how to structure your requests) to ray.welling@gmail.com. Meanwhile, anyone who has an interest in being a source (you may be a PR representative or just an interesting person!) can sign up to receive periodic emails that will go out looking for people to help out with a writing project.
