| Anybody thinking of applying for this work, may want to check out this thread first, which cropped up some time ago (last May):
[url:5nccw4mg]http: //www. ourbulgariaforum. com/viewtopic. php?f=54& t=2018& hilit=travel+writer[/url:5nccw4mg]
Last time these people (same people, just a new 'user' this time round) were totally unwilling to divulge basic information that any copywriter would require prior to applying for this position (number of words per article, copyrights, file formats, remuneration, invoicing details, credits, passing Copyscape premium, etc.).
If this information is not forthcoming this time, then apply at your peril as this is very basic information for anybody doing this kind of work. |

| Perhaps you could answer the following, which the previous poster of this ad refused to do:
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. |
