I’ve not written for them, but I’ve been interested in knowing more about them. However, reading their job listings left me with the uneasy feeling that they were just another writer mill designed to make writers grind out words in an effort to earn what probably amounted to a pittance. That seems to be the way most of these so-called opportunities pan out. Of course, I had no proof of this, just a gut feeling.

Fortunately, Angela Hoy must have been as curious as I because she posted an announcement asking for feedback from those who had, or were, writing for DS. I think she must have been inundated.

If you too have wondered if DS might be a worthwhile revenue source, be sure and read the results of Angela’s quest for information. Also, you can read what Erik Sherman had to say on the subject. Be sure and read the Comments to his post too.

Takeaway Truth

Writers need to analyze possible opportunities to see if the sound they hear is opportunity knocking or the sound of nails being pounded into the coffin where the golden goose lies cold and dead.
