Update on Mazer

Mazer closed its doors suddenly at the end of 2008. I don't have specifics, only a note from a contact I had in the company. I hope none of you had WIP with them at the time.

I am removing them from my list of education-related publishing. I will be adding a couple to keep an eye on.

• GGS Creative Resources is working on their website, but have contact info posted.
• Element LLC looks promising.

Freelance Social Studies Writer Opportunity

Mazer Creative Services has an opportunity for some elementary and middle school social studies writers. The writers would be working with state-specific standards. If you would like contact information to submit your resume for this, please email me at lauracoulterfreelance at yahoo dot com. If you've already made contact with Mazer from a previous post, email me for the contact email so you can check in with her.

Good luck!

Focus on Mazer Creative Services

I received an email from someone at Mazer Creative Services. She'd heard about the blog through the "educational publishing" alerts in her gmail (I'm going to have to ask her exactly how that works.) and thought I might like to mention Mazer. I took a look at their site and I certainly do want to mention them. They have openings, but I think they're full-time. She asked that any K-12 freelancers interested in work send their resume to the appropriate editor. Please send me an email for specifics.

This lovely Mazer contact also gave me a few other gems. (I just love helpful people!) She thought we might like to take a look at Academic Benchmarks. Here's the link to the employment page. She also said that the educational publishing community has a strong presence on LinkIn.com. I joined LinkedIn a little over a week ago and I'm already making strong contacts.

This email came out of the blue and really made my day. I also appreciate all the supportive emails I've received from people who visit the blog. Some are thanks, others are leads, all are very, very welcome. Thanks so much for all of your support.

Happy writing!
