Expert News Article Writer Needed

I’m looking for a seasoned news writer who can take a story from idea to polished, publication-ready article. The assignment covers the full cycle—topic research, interviewing sources when needed, drafting, fact-checking, editing, and final proofreading—so I end up with accurate, engaging pieces that can go live without extra cleanup.

Here’s how I’d like us to work:

• Research & pitch: You suggest timely angles and headlines that fit current news trends.
• Structured outline: Once a topic is approved, send a brief outline so we’re aligned on scope and tone (AP style preferred).
• Writing & sourcing: Produce clear, concise copy backed by credible sources, quotes, and data. Include links or citations for every fact.
• Revision loop: I’ll review each draft and give consolidated feedback; you refine until the article is sharp, balanced, and error-free.
• Final delivery: Provide the edited article in Word or Google Docs plus a brief note on key references used. If you’re comfortable with WordPress, a formatted upload is a bonus.

I value depth and reliability over clickbait. Strong command of English, an eye for compelling narratives, and familiarity with SEO best practices will set you apart. Please send a detailed project proposal outlining your approach, typical turnaround times, and links to 3–5 recent news articles that demonstrate your investigative skill and editorial polish.
