I’m always willing to help others, but this is a business for me. I have a pretty good file about doing outdoor things with kids, and it’s something I feel strongly about.

I cover mostly fishing and hunting, but as the photo and last night’s blog might suggest, I also write things about learning about nature, developing the five senses, etc. I’m big into mentoring children.

I’ve taught Hunter Education for more than 20 years, have been writing for 43 years, and have nothing against getting paid for my work. If you’d like to give examples of what you are willing to pay for stories and photos, I can then better judge whether I’m interested in writing something on a regular or occasional basis.

Many people want to reprint my blogs, partly because they usually have color illustrations and because the topics are well researched and developed. I’m not a braggart, but getting paid for my work is the first step to helping you and helping me coming to a meeting of the minds.

You would be buying one-time reprint electronic rights to my copy, and that isn’t nearly as expensive as buying first rights to my material.

I live in Michigan, and you may reply to my email or phone me at this cell phone number — 1-231-492-7038. Thank you for your interest. — David Richey

I found your site through your blog post what the outdoors means to me? I wanted to email you to see if you would be interested in a guest blog post on my site http://outdoorbaby.net. I am looking for someone that would write about fishing and hunting and how it fits within the movement of bringing children outdoors.
