> I will be interested to connect with peer journalists from the Bay Area to
> talk about our craft, read stories that some of you wrote, and start a
> conversation about how to disseminate our work.
> If some of you are willing to answer these 3 following questions, it will
> help me understand what I'm facing now.
>
> Who are  publishing your stories?
>
>
> Are you working more as free lancers or staff journalists?
>
>
> Is there any sites where you showcase and ultimately sell your stories?
>
> I wish everyone a great week end and I look forward to meet some of you in
> real life or in cyberspace.
