interesting topic, not absolutely certain of what is being asked of the writer and why only sofia. The tourist industry covers all areas of bulgaria and this appears to be a limited area of work, by which i mean, one the history has been researched ( history does not change) what more can be wrote, other than new and developing tourist attractions, a person living in sofia does not necessarily know of all areas of interest, only their interests. Angel
my sincere apologies if i have misread or misunderstood what is being asked. but an interesting offer. s

Hi

What we ask of the author is to gather content, basically pick up the sights, take a photo and write a small description about each. After which our software will format the data into a small iPhone App.
We are not covering just Sofia, but we are starting with Sofia.

If you have any other questions please do let me know

Regards,
Dan

Hi Dan

Please could you respond to the following:

1. How many words per article do you require?
2. Copyright on image/s (transferred to you or stays with photographer)?
3. Copyright on actual article (transferred to you or stays with author)?
4. File formats for submitted copy - text and images (plus size / resolution of images)?
5. Remuneration per article (text + images)?
6. How/when payment will be made?
7. Do you require a VAT invoice?
8. Credits? Is author name included in the iPhone app and article?
9. Copyscape Premium? I suspect the article has to fully pass without plagiarism?

I think this would make everything much clearer to our Members.

I also think if you want a native English speaker to do excellent research (without plagiarism), provide text that passes Copyscape Premium, with copyright free images, then the remuneration should reflect this

Just want to clarify something here. The writer's relationship with us will be similar to that between a book author and a publisher, with the writer being the author and us being the publisher. This means that the intellectual property rights and remuneration will be handled in a simialr way as in the booking publishing business. One can find standard publishing agreements on the internet if one wants to learn more about them. However our lawyer has adviced us not to disclose the terms in a public forum so we ask the interested party to send us resume and writing sample(s).

Thank you.

I have been in publishing, design and print (like my late Father before me) since graduating from Leeds College of Technology with a degree in the field over 25 years ago.

I have also, never heard such nonsense in my life! The questions I asked were common 'journalist' questions that any serious copywriter would ask.

Frequently, I use various 'Freelance Journalism' sites for copywriters or contributors. I would NEVER post an ad without stating number of words required, remuneration for the article and the copyright/Copyscape requirements of said article.

However, if you are unable or unwilling to disclose such basic information due to the 'advice' of your lawyers, then I wish you luck, as no serious journalist I know would bother contacting you.
