Hi John -
Grandma used to say, "If you don't ask you won't get." This is the first step ... asking for assistance.
A
good first source is your UG membership. Have you approached anyone
(not all of them) to help you? This does not mean an announcement at a
meeting, but you identifying some one that might like to try their hand
at writing. You, as editor could, of course, edit it to your liking.
Just remember that the more you "fix" their work, the less they might
want to write for you again.
Most
Apple User Groups have some kind of communication with their members,
either a 'newsletter' or website, where relevant or current articles
appear. With fair and complete attribution as to its source, I think
you'll find most other clubs would be happy to share their knowledge and articles. The Apple Discussion List can help with this. You have joined, haven't you? Click here.
As for "specials on software." I have always preferred the direct approach. Look up (there's that Googeplexing,
again) the kind of software you are interested in. Send a
'business-like' letter identifying you as a representative of a
recognized Apple User Group. Ask for what you want. They may require a product review in your newsletter (or on your website).
Hope this helps.

HI Gary,
I am with the Panhandle Macintosh Users Group and I am also the Apple Ambassador. As an Ambassador I'm trying to assist our newsletter editor with articles to put in to our monthly newsletter. I am having difficulty finding relevant and current and relevant articles to put into our newsletter. Perhaps I missed something when I signed up with your organization, but I just don't know where to look for articles that are good enough to put into our newsletter. Perhaps you can assist me in locating where I should be looking. We also thought that if we could put a few specials on software in the newsletter every month this might also
peek a little interest and make people want to read the newsletter completely, but I have been to the website where specials are listed and we have already placed several of these in the newsletter. Do you have any ideas as to where we can locate additional specials on software.
Yours in Macintosh
John Mock
