Seeking a writer to help with brief write ups for our motorsports website. This is a low traffic site that chronicles our occasional collector car and club racing events. Our web designer does a nice job, we just need a qualified writer to polish our text. Obviously a background and enthusiasm for cars and performance are important. site: www.francis-online.com/francisspeed/ if interested, please email: jeff@francis-online.com

Is this a matter of working with already-written articles or coming up with original content? Both?

This would be working with already written articles and future write- ups. We're looking for someone to review what we've wrote, clean up the rough edges and correct grammar, and add some flair. Thanks for the inquiry.

You're looking for an editor then as opposed to a writer.

If this leans more toward writing vs. editing, I would love to send over a few writing samples.

I'll be headed to grad school this fall and am looking for something enjoyable that I can devote extra time to.

How many words per week (on average) might you require of someone holding this position?

Just to make Gary the Gatekeeper happy, at your disposal notwithstanding unfounded plagiarism accusations.

There, I've done it. Not so hard.....

First off, our write ups and events are just occasional, we average no more than 6 per year. Although, we have considered going back and spiffing up past articles. We think we're leaning more towards a writer that's capable of editing. We would like our stories to read more like a magazine article than they currently do.

Sounds exactly along the lines of what I'm looking to do at this point. I shot you a PM a few moments ago, but will also send something to your email momentarily.

You'll need to log in to post.
