About
GossipandGab.com was created by a bunch of hungry writers tired of slaving away for other people and never getting to do things their way. That doesn’t mean our way is any better, but it’s a hell of a lot more fun.
We here at GossipandGab.com believe in serving up a healthy dose of attitude with every story. Thus, we apologize in advance if you should find us offensive, annoying or otherwise intolerable. Please feel free to find greener pastures elsewhere.
GossipandGab.com believes strongly in the intellectual property rights of writers, photographers and other creative types. After all, we are those creative types. If you should happen to spot anything on our site that you feel might be a copyright violation, belong to someone else or is improperly sourced or credited, please contact the editor immediately at the e-mail address below. You can be certain she’ll open a can of severe unpleasantness on any guilty party.
Primarily we are here to have fun and enjoy the guilty pleasure of our own love of gossip, scandal, interesting news, weird videos and the delicious buffet of strangeness that is the Internet. We hope you’ll find the site a tasty dish as well.

Writer’s Guidelines
We are currently not hiring any additional paid staff writers at this time. However, we may consider freelance contributions on a case by case basis. Pitch us with your story or column idea and we’ll see if it might be a good fit for our site. Please don’t bother pitching if you’ve never written anything but a term paper on cell mutation or sentimental ramblings in your journal before. We may play it a bit fast and loose on GossipandGab.com, but we are still professionals and prefer to work with such. Pitches and story ideas can be sent to gossipandgab (at) gmail.com. Please do not bug the Editor-in-Chief with pitches as she can be quite grumpy before coffee.
