About the project

Dear writer,

If you like to write on specific topic, I need authority, unbiased, yet passionate articles for one huge Australian Authority Site Project.

so if you want to write about cities, I need well researched articles with pictures, and data made in tourist handy format, easy to read and up to date.

I pretty much need as many articles as you can come up with - but I don't want just a writer, I want someone who has personal interest in it and who knows the area.

So you have to be from Australia, and pick one of the categories: Travel Economy or Culture

We will start building up from biggest topics

AUSTRALIA

  • Melbourne
  • Sydney
  • ....

to smaller areas

Same with culture: THINGS TO SEE Opera Hall stuff like that ... and go from there

Economy also: popular topics from the news, but evergreen like strengths and weaknesses of Australian Economy and put it in proper articles.

I need you to think with your own head what people outside Australia might want to know about it from travel to banking, from jobs to visas, from season and food to rules dress codes etc.

Remember: each writing has to be expert-written, unbiased, factual and yet interesting and with passion. What I'm saying - the info you write about must be absolutely correct with some spirit added to it.

You think you're up for it?

Quote and sample me some.

You know the volume now and you can offer what you think you can do.

It is an ongoing job so treat it as that -- give me a good quote so we remain working for the long term.

Thank you.

    Hi there, I'm a published author (short stories /essays /articles) and freelance writer, residing in Melbourne, but Queensland-born and raised. As a former theatre director, and lover of cafe culture, nature and the quirky sides of cities, I could definitely deliver engaging articles on arts /food, travel, and unique pieces on cultural/fashion differences between (say) Sydney and Melbourne. I'm familiar with many areas of Australia. I write articles on well-being for Stresspanda.com, as well as guest blogging on film reviews (link below) and the craft of writing, and other articles. Happy to send you some other samples if you can provide an email address. I've quoted per hour as you mention article length would vary. It takes me 3 - 4 hours to write a 500-word article. But would consider negotiating a reasonable flat fee if preferred. Thankyou, Melissa Coffey. http://livinginthefuture.org/blog/deep-listening-dadirri-film-review-melissa-coffey/

    Hi ,

    I am a freelance Australian writer. I studied business and law at La Trobe in Melbourne, and currently write weekly economy reports for clients in Australia. I have also written business guides which include how to work as a freelancer and getting visas. Thus, I would be keen to contribute news articles about the Australian economy.

    However, while studying I also managed a tour business in Melbourne called Melbourne Underground, and worked as a DJ, photographer and bartender in Melbourne. I also contribute to a food and travel blog called The City Lane - so I am sure I could also add some travel and culture articles about the city, from nightlife and bars to food! As someone who has traveled extensively, I can help tourists and locals alike discover a city.

    In my articles I list my sources via footnotes so you can see where I got my info from and I generally charge $35/500 words, at the moment I could contribute up to several articles a week depending on your needs.

    A link to a sample of an economic news article I wrote is below. A bit more of a dry topic but hopefully gives an idea:

    Hope to hear more!

    Best regards,

    Hi, I am from Sydney and would love to cover all topics, however, travel would be my biggest interest. I have also lived in regional Australia, so have a feel for the country towns of Australia as well. I have many years of writing experience and have published and authored 4 books. Looking forward to hearing from you :-))

    My background is The Age newspaper Melbourne. I also ran an inflight magazine for a major regional airline so I am geared to writing with tourism in mind. In addition to The Age I also worked for The Times in London and as their Australian correspondent for some years. I can supply examples of published work if required.

    How many words do you require for each article?

    • K007 Client 9 Jun 2015 at 20:06

      It totally depends on the topic. If possible, around 500 words or much more will be good per article!

  • The Moving Words Company 10 Jun 2015 at 10:40

    What frequency are the articles to be produced and what is the lead time to produce each article?

    • K007 Client 10 Jun 2015 at 21:50

      Again, it depends on what you can offer. If you can provide 5 top notch articles per day, that will be perfect or if you can provide 5 articles in a week, thats good as well as long as the quality is really good.

      I'll be hiring more than 1 writer. I'm still waiting for some more quotes before hiring.

    Hello, I submitted a quote a few days ago. I wanted to ask when approximately would be the date you'd be responding to potential applicants, and when would you be anticipating wanting articles? You have 25 days left on this, but will you be getting back to applicants any sooner? Also, I forgot to include my email: ask.the.seeds@gmail.com. Thanks.

    • K007 Client 13 Jun 2015 at 22:07

      Hi, i will be contacting all applicants within a week. I'll give you all the opportunity to write for me once and then after reviewing the quality of the article you wrote i will decide who to hire. If all of the articles are good, then ill be more than happy to hire you all.
