It will help you get readers involved. Showcase unique content at a price that's right.

What’s thriving on the Web? MySpace. YouTube. Twitter. Facebook. Blogs. Places where people get their 15 seconds of fame. Now, let readers help create your paper's content.

Readers crave relief from scary news. Humor is the medicine for this ailment. You need a columnist who will create entertaining juxtapositions, intriguing lists, captivating quizzes, and thought-provoking quotes within the framework of informative trivia. The column is factual, imaginative, witty. Fun is contagious. Works well online. Samples of "Is That a Fact!" appear here.

As writer and self-syndicator of this column, I want to build my list of subscribing newspapers. So I'm offering this dollars-and-cents motivator. Through March 31, 2010, get "Is That a Fact!" at a weekly rate of only $10.00 per column for as long as you subscribe. Forget the Rate Card. No hassle. No contract. Cancel at any time. Low cost and no obligation--you can't lose, and that's a fact.

Readers will crave these trivia tidbits along with their morning coffee. History, science, sports, show biz, celebrities, celebrations, great thoughts--the panoply of life’s facets--are the topics for the column's stand-alone "factoids." Editing is a breeze.

As a freelance writer since 1970, I’ve covered the waterfront of topics. From 1974 through 1986 I self-syndicated a weekly consumer column, "More For Your Money." A monthly version ran for 18 months in The Elks Magazine (circ. 1.03 million). My book "Patience, My Foot!" was published in 1994 (reissued in 2004). My book "Temple in Vintage Postcards" was published in 2004 by Arcadia Publishing. I’ve sold magazine articles to American Way, AARP Magazine (when it was Modern Maturity), The Rotarian, Kiwanis Magazine, The Toastmaster, and other publications.

If you agree that this weekly column will appeal to your readers, please reply. I can offer you first print rights in your primary circulation area. You'll find sample columns on this website. Please contact me today.

"...After several misfires with other syndicated sources, with problems ranging from delayed delivery to family inappropriate content, I discovered your "Is That A Fact!" column and immediately arranged to start it on our page two. In just a few weeks, based on both my own impression of the column as well as reader feedback, I made the decision to move it to page one, which is where it has since remained. This is due not only to the superior nature of the column's content and authorship, but also to the timely and reliable delivery thereof and the hassle free nature of conducting business with the author...."

"Above and beyond the attractiveness of the column to the reader, as the one tasked with the editing and layout of the paper I find it a personal blessing that the quality of writing in your column is superb. It has never happened that I have had to edit a column for spelling, grammar or any other technical or stylistic matter. Perhaps more telling is that due to [our] limited space...it's often the case that I will have to pare down the column; however, even this task is an easy one thanks to the clean and logical structure of your work."
