Lifestyle Feature Article for Young Adults
Budget: £250 – £750 GBP
I need a polished feature article that will sit comfortably in the lifestyle section of a print-plus-digital magazine aimed at young adults. The piece should read like the long-form stories you’d find in Wired’s “Life” pages or GQ’s culture columns—immersive, thoroughly researched, and driven by a compelling narrative hook that resonates with readers in their late teens to early thirties.
What I’ll provide:
• A working headline, angle, and any in-house style guidelines once we agree to move forward.
• Access to any internal sources or contacts you may wish to quote.
What I need from you:
• 1,500–2,000 words of original copy, cleanly structured with an engaging lead, strong transitions, and a memorable close.
• Quotes or data backed by credible sources, cited inline for our fact-checking team.
• A brief deck (one-sentence summary) and two pull-quotes called out in the draft.
• Delivery in Google Docs or Word, formatted to standard magazine style (subheads, callouts, etc.).
Tone & style: Fresh, conversational, and relatable yet informed—think Vox or Vice, not academic journal. Use active voice, keep paragraphs tight, and avoid jargon unless you explain it succinctly.
Timeline: First draft within one week of project start, two business days for revisions after feedback.
If you have clips of previous lifestyle features written for a young adult readership, please mention them in your proposal so I can get a sense of your voice.
