TheDoubleAgent.com is Looking for Writers to Write about Writing

While currently based in Australia, the Double Agent is currently looking for writers for the LA edition of the Double Agent, so they contacted us. While this gig is no pay, and we generally don't advocate no pay gigs, this seems like a decent website, and might be an opportunity for writers who are looking to develop clips. Here's what the editor had to say:
I'm currently looking for writers who can write about writing. Over the coming months, I want to turn The Double Agent into a kind of creative hub, where artists blog about art, actors about acting, and writers about writing. I'm looking for writers who are confident in sharing their knowledge and experience with other writers, and they don't have to be ten-times-published authors, they can be college students who are just starting to find their voice, poets who have never been published before, or high school English teachers (although a couple of ten-times-published authors would be nice).

Content wise, I'd only be looking for a 500 - 1,500 word piece once every three weeks, and, as long as the theme is writing, it can be about anything - matters of style, inspirations, or the time that you got ripped off by Author House. The bonus is that, as The Double Agent grows, the contributing writers will be put in touch with a network of creatives from around the world, get to bounce ideas off once another, and, last but not least, I give fantastic references that often use the word 'atomic'.

Simon had to rescind his request. Instead it looks as if he's shutting down his site. I received word last night.
