Best unaffiliated writers

[MankyJimy]

After last week's bloodletting at USA Today, Saraceno has vaulted to the top of this list.

By unaffiliated, you mean unemployed?

I assumed he mostly meant freelancers.

Monte Dutton

Good one. Still writes a lot of Nascar stuff in his BLOG! but he is sorely missed from that media corps.

I read Monte's blog every day and chat occasionally on Twitter. The fact that Gaston dumped him out of the blue and he wasn't immediately picked up by someone should tell NASCAR and the industry something about both's future. He is, in my opinion, the best available NASCAR write out there, and he is sitting home writing about the races on his own by watching TV.

I really hope he gets picked up (if he wants to be) or he book sales sky rocket. He's working on finishing his third novel. He doesn't deserve to not make a living.

Thanks for that, I really love hearing from and reading anything he puts out there. He's a pretty decent writer and a thoughtful dude.
