BitchBuzz: Launch of 'feisty' new women's website

FEISTY - there's a word to conjure with. For some, I'm sure it means 'pain in the arse' but to many, me included, it's a compliment. Anyway, my ex editor at Shiny Media's Dollymix, Cate Sevilla has been in touch to tell me about the 'feisty' new website she's working on.

This is what she has to say about freelance contributors:

We are taking on freelancers, however we've been very upfront with the writers who contact us that at the moment, BitchBuzz is a labor of love and we are currently unable to compensate our writers for their contributions. However, as soon as BitchBuzz starts to make revenue we will absolutely pay them for their work.

We're basically looking for freelancers who are passionate writing about the issues covered in any of BitchBuzz's seven sections - News, Life, Style, Tech, Sex, Home and Culture - from a feisty, fun, female perspective.

Cate's press release is produced in full over the cut.

August 6, 2008 - BitchBuzz is a feisty new website that serves as a sexy, smart alternative to the women's weblogs and magazines of today. Founded by Cate Sevilla, former editor of Dollymix and author of the popular blog CupCate.com, BitchBuzz provides refreshingly uncensored views on pop culture, sex, relationships and everything in between.

From reviews on the hottest films and gadgets, to advice on how to best organize your home office, BitchBuzz is the ultimate lifestyle guide for all things creative, fierce and female. It is BitchBuzz's mission to provide women with a website that's real, honest and entertaining. They don't just promise their readers that they’re different and won’t patronize them like other female-oriented media: they actually do it.
Written by a diverse group of passionate, opinionated women and featured guest columnists such as a sex educator, author and blogger Violet Blue of TinyNibbles.com, the BitchBuzz women are fed up with being disappointed by other women's blogs. They're not interested in being perfect feminists, or perfect women: they craft, they bake, they have good sex, buy the latest technology and they blog. In short, the women of BitchBuzz do what makes them happy and encourage other women to do the same.

BitchBuzz is composed of seven distinct sections that uphold the same beliefs, tone, style and attitude: News, Life, Style, Tech, Sex, Home and Culture.
