Tales for cigarrettes
I saw this video of the author of Creating Wealth: Growing Local Economies with Local Currencies in Treehugger some weeks ago.
As you know, I keep banging about how the current economic climate in Spain should provoke loads of alternatives. And I’m so terribly happy to be able to announce one of them! (because that greatly reduces the amount of grumpiness of this site).
Inés is a rather terrific woman (I think you can see this from her picture). She produced one of the most amazing MA thesis we had in my year, and now she’s came up with this: she writes (she’s actually a published author) in exchange for whatever you agree beforehand: cigarrettes, a bag of groceries, etc. It depends on the number of pages and time frame you give her. She also sends you samples of her writing beforehand so that you know what to expect (for instance, she doesn’t do kids’ literature).
Inés’ initiative totally rocks. And as one of her readers, I can tell you that she is talented (her book opens with the tale of her cat’s suicide). At the moment, you can find her here, and she offers her services in Spanish. Rock on.
PS: She is now in the “friends” section so that you can always find her :)
