It can be hard for professional freelance writers to find steady work. I came across MediaPost.com and wanted to share this excellent site with you.
Who: MediaPost (http://www.mediapost.com)

What you can use:
Check the classifieds (http://www.mediapost.com/classifieds) for
- Real world employment/job offers for folks skilled in graphic design, marketing, advertising, and creative. A good job may be worth relocating. It looks like most major cities in the U.S. are looking for someone with your skills.
