I troll the net for gigs all the time. I find a lot of excellent prospects that way, and occasionally, stuff like this that just makes you smile:

I am a well known internet writer and I am working on a book project that I hope to bring to publication before the end of this year. This project is an unauthorized (as of now) biography of Tater Tots.

I am seeking submissions from writers pertaining to a well known food item known by the trade name “Tater Tots.” Tater Tots are manufactured and sold by Ore-Ida Foods; subsidiary of HJ Heinz Co. and headquartered in Boise, Idaho.
I don't want to be too specific about the nature of this book or the nature of the inputs that I am soliciting with this call for submissions. Let your best instincts and wildest imagination guide you - but keep it short (under 500 words). Contributions can be anecdotal or fabricated - just as long as it is entertaining.

No pay for mediocre submissions - even if they are selected for inclusion in the book - but you will be recognized for your contribution somewhere within the book. Will pay .25 per word (.15 per word if I have to correct or edit the work) for any entries of a salacious nature involving well-known celebrities (must be able to verify).

If you are an agent and have interest in representing me on this project please contact me through this post.
