If he were to hold one of the guide positions what would Ernest Hemingway have to say about writing for Mahalo.com?

What types of articles would he like to write and would he be happy writing in the new guide position?

Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Hemingway's writing style, described by NobelPrize.org as one free of "descriptive redundancy, of obtrusive punctuation, and of superfluous or narrowing emotive signs" would be right in line with what Mahalo strives for on topic pages.

I'm not sure that Hemingway would accept a Guide position - except for a year as a newspaper reporter after he graduated from high school, all of his writing was done for himself.

Hemingway summed up his philosophy of writing in his Nobel acceptance speech. In it, he discusses the need for innovation, and that a true writer seeks to write what has not been written before. I'm fairly certain he wouldn't be happy writing How tos or Topic pages here.

I saw a list of Ernest Hemingway’s novels in Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bibliography_of_Ernest_Hemingway
(1926) The Torrents of Spring
(1926) The Sun Also Rises
(1929) A Farewell to Arms
(1937) To Have and Have Not
(1940) For Whom the Bell Tolls
(1950) Across the River and Into the Trees
(1952) The Old Man and the Sea
(1970) Islands in the Stream
(1986) The Garden of Eden
(1999) True at First Light

(tongue in cheek)
Ernest Hemingway is good at symbolism, maybe they will be renamed as:
The Tyrannies of Summer
The Sun Also Sets
A Farewell to Pages, How To and Cashout
Mahalo Dollar, To Have and Have Not
Mahalo, For Whom the Bell Tolls
The Old Man Mahaloian and The Sea Pages
(a story of a Mahaloian caught a Page (a type of fish) in Pages (name of the sea) after a long struggle but the Page is eaten by “sharks”)
Revenues in the Smoke
The Garden of Mahalo
(in this story, Mahaloians get leave Garden of Mahalo after the trees called Pages and How Tos don't bear fruits anymore; they have to go forth and multiply at other gardens)
Death at First August

Hemingway's novels + some imaginations

Haha, I think of something both funny and sad.

The history will change:
Literature works written by him will still win the Nobel Prize and Pulitzer Award.
But the prize and award owner is Jason Calacanis as the intellectual property of Ernest Hemingway is confiscated a day before prize giving day by changing of Mahalo TOS.

Ernest Hemingway commit suicide after that.

I really don't think Ernest would approve of writing for an hourly wage, at least not in the way a guide would.

I'm saying he would quit after a week or two, and the pages he would complete would be much more descriptive than the rest of the guides, but maybe a little too detailed for our high paced, short attention spanned, information filled world. He might as well be a writer from a different world compared to what we call writing today.

Aw, ole Ernest would have a hard time coming up with 300 words on a topic!

Ernest is notoriously laconic. He tells stories in words a third grader can understand, and in about as many as a third grader would use. Ernest Hemingway is to authors as William Shatner is to actors. In case you aren't old enough to be familiar with William Shatner's acting style, here is a sample:

Ernest Hemingway would say, "I'll take another Vodka on the rocks."
