Here are too links where for Shepperd, you can contact him directly and Slate, you can blog him I guess. I also would suggest contacting your local newspaper or going there to find out how wages vary in the literary business. Also, check with different news stations as well. Have you visited or called any local colleges or universities? The English or Liberal Arts department would be a good start. If you are in high school or lower, do you all have a newspaper/newsletter department? Yearbook? Those are great sources close to you as well. Good Luck!
