Wow! I found this interesting. It looks like Brijit, best known for their abstracts of everyday articles, has run out of money. I really didn’t know what Brijit exactly was until a freelance writer friend of mine told me to check it out. Well, in fact, that’s exactly what I did a few days ago. I thought I would take a stab at submitting an abstract to see if it would get accepted. If my abstract was chosen, I’d be paid $5. I was wondering why it was taking so long to hear back, because the site said you’d be notified fairly quickly after the submission date ended. Well, now I find out that Brijit has ran out of money. Oops!
After visiting the main page of Brijit this morning, I get the following message:
You’ve reached this page because, at the moment, Brijit is out of money and can no longer afford to bring you the world in 100 words. We’re working hard to find a way forward for our service and hope to relaunch in the not-too-distant future. Thanks to all our loyal readers and writers. And to our Brijit writers: payments in full for all abstracts published through May 15 will be made next week.

That’s too bad. I actually thought this was an interesting concept. Definitely a big downer for all the serious Brijit contributors who spent a great deal of time at the site.

Thanks for the effort. We’re still working to find Brijit a home, and when we do, I’d expect us to get to the unpublished submissions in our editorial queue.
Best,
Jeremy from Brijit
