I know this is a longshot, but I was wondering if you're available to write a story on a band in the next week. It's Jason Eady and the Wayward Apostles.
It's for our monthly story called The Cusp, about a band that's on the cusp of ... something. It might be a band that's just starting to get regular gigs or one that's gotten some radio play or one that's starting to tour nationally or had a hit song. The tag line for the story is "Don't know them yet? Chances are you will soon." So you'd just need to get some background on the band and find out where they are in their career -- any big accomplishments recently? It's 350 words and the pay is $75.
I know it's short notice, so I totally understand if you're too swamped to do it. But if you can, let me know ASAP.
Thanks,
Melissa
