h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Hello echomikeromeo,

You might know me as a fellow contributor for The Post. I got to know you through your editorials of course.

I've checked out your profile on the site and subscribed through RSS to one of your blogs as well. (Just please let your visitors post comments as from Wednesday!) I really think what you're doing is impressive and fascinating and I would like to invite you to apply for a column at a website: www.backwash.com

I am columnist there and the site is currently looking for new blood. You can check the guidelines for writing for backwash here: http://www.backwash.com/writeforus.php. If you're interested, please feel free to apply.

You could write about how you get the inspiration for your works, your interests, your perception of life and about anything else, as far as the pieces are interesting and appeal to the general public - I'm sure that won't be a problem considering what you cureently write here at h2g2. And don't be scared by backwash's regulations. They may seem quite serious and all but in fact the people there are really great.

If you have any more questions, don't hesitate to email me personally: [email protected]. And I tend to like communicating by email more, if it's not a problem.

Hoping to hear from you soon.

Hi NotScientific

Wow, you *read* my blog thing? I'm so honoured! (Yes, I'm thinking I will let people post comments, because I need some ideas.)

I read your column every week when I edit it. I enjoy it, too.

Thank you for your offer, but I'm afraid I just don't have the time. As you may or may not know, I've become the Editor-in-Chief of The Post, which is a rather time-consuming office.

Not to worry. If you feel you have the time someday, feel free to join the site.

It's great to work with you. And you must be a good thing if you've become editor of The Post at the tender age of 15, right?

Don't hesitate to contact me if you need some help. And good luck with the new job.

Thanks!
