Artists: Want Your Work Featured on WORD?
If you're a San Diego visual artist and would like to have your work featured at the top of a page of WORDsd.com, send us an email with your bio and a link/info on where we can see your work.

	WORDsd.com is looking for a creative, energetic, take-charge, deadline making SD writer to be our Editor-In-Chief! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Add your name to the list of Furiously Famous Editors, alongside Helen Gurly Brown, Clay Felker, Perry White and J. Jonah Jameson! You will be the one to come up with story ideas (although we've got a million already, just waiting for you to change them from ideas, into stories!)

	David Boyne is a writer. And a rewriter. But he is better known for appreciating every food he has ever tried—except Jello® and sea urchin. There was a time when David considered becoming a better person, but abandoned the idea when he learned identity theft was illegal. There are no outstanding warrants for his arrest, although he frequently exposes himself in public at ICBWB.com

WORD Up

This is a book. Here at WORD, we have a very broad definition of what is a book: Any package containing words and/or images.

There are books printed on paper then bound, and books made of electrons and pixels then harnessed in digital packages, and  even books that others would call websites. All are "book" to us.

Who is WORD for? Anyone who works with or plays with words and lives in or near San Diego county.

Does that sound like you? Then we invite you to send us your photo and some words about yourself, what you do, where you do it. We'll add you to our directories of WORD People and WORD Places.

Are you in the mood for a good read? How about a wicked keen article on San Diego writers, or San Diego artists, or other San Diego Creative Misfits? Then check out Free WORD for interviews, how-tos, personal essays and whatever else our contributors cook up.

Got an article to submit? Think you've got the Right Stuff to be a WORD Pro and have your own column? Then backtalk us, baby! We love it when you do.

WORDsd.com will officially be open May 11, 2008. But please dig in right now, browse our pages, look around, let us know what you think. If you join the WORD email list, we'll let you know when the site is officially open and of any special events.

That's it for now. We'll be updating the site continually, so you might want to bookmark WORD now and visit again soon.

Till then, be well, do good work, and keep in touch!
