My name is Patricia Hill, and I have been writing professionally for more than a year. Of all the clients I've had the opportunity to work for, Demand Studios is one of the best. Work and pay is consistent, and I don't have to worry about when I will be paid or making an eight-hour day. It's flexible in that I can write when I want and how much I want. Demand Studios also allows me to write about topics I enjoy—picking your own titles is a definite plus.

It takes courage, inspiration, passion and dedication to complete something like the Tour de France. Nike has discovered an incredibly cool robot that will be capable of communicating with Lance Armstrong's Team RadioShack during their race.
That's right, I said robot.

Hi. My name is Carl Hose. Demand Studios pays me to write, and I make a good living doing what I enjoy. The freedom I get here allows me to pursue my creative writing as well. Then there's the added benefit of being able to work in my pj’s all day if I feel like it. Seriously though, there is total freedom, which allows me more control over the other events in my life.

My name is Yvette Marie, and I’m a writer and title editor with Demand Studios. I graduated with a degree in English and always envisioned that one day, I would become a full-time freelance writer. Although I freelanced for about 15 years, writing greeting card copy and children's books, it was never enough to do full time, so I always held down other jobs. When I was laid off last December, I found Demand Studios and was finally able to realize what I always wanted for myself. The flexibility, self-imposed schedule and reliable income of this lifestyle is a dream. It's been fantastic.

My name is Cary Flank, and I couldn't be happier writing for Demand Studios. I have a B.A. in journalism from Columbia College Chicago. My experience includes writing and editing for a small Chicago-based magazine and blogging for an insurance company. Since I graduated from college, I've dreamed of becoming a freelance writer. Setting my own schedule has always been something I've wanted to do. I'm happy that Demand Studios has a lot of flexibility, because I can also put time into my other passion, which is jewelry. Another perk to freelance writing is that I don't have to sit in traffic for an hour to get to work, and while I’m working, I have the best company in my home: my three cats.

Soren Bowie, editor of Trails.com, is a wealth of information when it comes to outdoor activities. I'm no outdoors expert, but it's great to know that I have someone to go to with all of my "outdoorsy" questions if need be. His site has some great tools and awesome content from our Studio writers that I love to use when looking for local walking paths or weekend hikes.
He mentioned a new series the site is launching called "Gear Junkie." It's hosted by Stephen Regenold, expert and creator of the popular gear review column, "Gear Junkie." Check it out:

Hi, I’m Wendy Melton. I like Demand Studios, because it allows me to write on the things I enjoy. I have met some amazing people on here. People who have read my articles on the Demand Studios sites have even found me on other sites as well. It has made me realize all of my education was NOT a waste of time.
