Where can I find a writer to help create a band bio?

I'm looking for a writer to create a band bio, the half page extended blurb thing that gets sent out with promo CD's, used to help book gigs, etc. I've talked to the only writers I know who I think would capture the feel I'm looking for (slightly funny, geeky, and a little evil), and they aren't able to do it. I'm now realizing that I have no idea where to find someone to help write something like this.

Any suggestions for places to find writers for small projects that don't have a large budget?

Seconding CL. Search for "copywriting," weed out the SEO crap and just check out the freelancers. Ask for samples.

You could post it on Metafilter Jobs. Lots of writers on Mefi.

I used to be an (unpaid, but still, I think, somewhat-decent) music writer. Here's my stuff. MeMail me if you think we could make sweet, sweet music(-al bio) together.
