Priceless Perks from our Writers at Suite101.com

Posted by Lima Al-Azzeh Nov 19, 2008

Suite101.com isn’t just a great place to start or build a career in writing; it’s also a great place to fulfill personal goals. Here are some “priceless perks” some of our writers have enjoyed since writing for Suite.

Mia Carter, Pet Care Feature Writer

“I decided there were three people on my "wish list" that I wanted to interview: Cesar Millan, the Dog Whisperer; Ingrid Newkirk, the founder of PETA; and Peter Singer, who writes on ethics, much of which specifically relates to animals and the environment.

Earlier this month, I got an exclusive interview with the Dog Whisperer. And today, I got to speak with Ingrid Newkirk! Two out of three (in one month no less!). Those are two people I admire immensely and I know that my work with Suite secured the exclusive interviews.”

Sometimes a “perk” is simply hearing from the author you’ve reviewed:

From a note received by Christine Eirschele (Suite101 Flower Gardens, Feature Writer)

“Dear Christine:

I read your review before I even got your emaill.

WOW did you ever get it!!!!

Thank you so much. I am honored. If books still sell, let's hope this is one of them.”

Best,

Ken Druse (Author of Planthropology)”

David J. Shestokas— Law, Crime and Justice, Contributing Writer

“I recently read the Last Days of Krypton, and felt moved to go outside my regular zone of issues and reviewed the book because it was so much fun for me to read. About two days later I got an e-mail from Kevin Anderson, the author , thanking me for my comments and giving me a little inside scoop on a Batman Superman novel coming up in May.”
