I’m looking for a writer, somebody who can write a long-form article that will go on the website of my health newsletter.
The topic is, “How Big Tobacco started addicting food companies.”
The starting point for this article is an academic paper that came out last month on exactly this topic.
Your job, should you convince me you’re the right person for it, will be to take ideas from that academic paper… do additional research you might want to do… dramatize… make it all sticky… tell a story… draw out some surprising conclusions… and produce a piece of writing that’s new and fascinating for a real, live, intelligent human being to read and that makes such a human want to share the article with others.
I’m not looking for SEO fluff, but something written for actual people.
I’m fine if you want to use any AI tools to research or write this.
I don’t have a specific number of words in mind — I’m imagining something around 1k-2k words, though I’m not in any way set on that.
If you are interested in doing this job:
1. Hit reply
2. Tell me that you can write a fascinating article on the topic above
3. Give me proof for statement 2 above. Tell me, or better yet, show me, whatever you think is relevant to persuade me that you are able to do this work and do it well
4. Tell me what you want to charge for this work (Hint: saying you will do it for free is not a winning strategy)
For now, I am just advertising this to my list. I am willing to go on Upwork in a day or two and advertise there as well. However, I’m hoping to find the perfect person via my list, and quickly.
That’s to say, if you are interested in this job, don’t put off writing me — I hope to hear from you soon.
