Writers wanted (small business) | 10 cents per word

COMPANY/PUBLICATION: ROLLER SKATING ASSOCIATION INTERNATIONAL

Small Business Freelance Writers

Roller Skating Association International

The Roller Skating Association International is a not-for-profit association created to serve the needs of roller skating rink owners. Six times per year we publish a magazine, Rinksider Magazine, which addresses the needs of these business owners.

We're seeking freelance writers willing to begin working with our organization on a 1099 basis. Article topics may vary from how to increase profits and the best way to reach specific age groups to marketing tactics and business law.

• Must have 5 YEARS OF WRITING EXPERIENCE (with pre-edited portfolio examples).
• Must have an exemplary understanding of grammar, punctuation and AP guidelines.
• Must not be afraid to pick up the phone. Most of our interviews won't be done through e-mail and will take place after normal business hours and during the weekends, as many business owners are in their place of business in the evening and on weekends.
• Must be able to research a topic. We require anywhere between 5-7 interviews per piece, so you'll be working with a lot of people - high energy and passion for writing is a must.
• Must be able to think outside of the box and be willing to research statistics, facts, and other data required of the assignments.
• Must have a quick turn around time. In most instances, articles will be assigned a month out and are expected to be on time.
• Must be able to work with business owners and understand their need for privacy.

Payment: We currently publish 1000 copies per month. With our readership being so niche, we pay .10/cents per word with a typical word count of 1500-2500 words for features and 700-800 words for columns, depending on the article. Because we're not-for-profit and have a strict budget, this is a fixed rate. Once we establish your ability and turn around time, you may be given more assignments.
