Project Description
I’m commissioning a 2,000–3,000-word feature that will read like the centre-piece of a print magazine: rich with narrative, packed with verified facts, and structured around a clear, compelling storyline.
Here’s how I’d like us to work:
• Phase 1 – Research & Outline
You’ll conduct independent desk research, draw connections between seemingly unrelated data points, then send me a detailed outline that maps the angle, section flow, and key sources you plan to cite. I’ll review and sign off before you proceed.
• Phase 2 – First Draft
Using that approved outline, craft a fully developed article—complete with engaging opener, smooth transitions, and a satisfying conclusion. Expect in-text citations or footnotes so I can verify any data or quotations quickly.
• Phase 3 – Revision & Final Draft
I’ll give consolidated feedback on the first draft. You’ll refine structure, tone, and accuracy, then deliver a polished, ready-to-publish final version.
Acceptance criteria
– Word count lands between 2,000 and 3,000 words
– Narrative through-line is clear and engaging
– All facts are attributed to reputable primary or secondary sources
– Final copy is free of grammatical or stylistic errors
If you’re comfortable unpacking more technical material and transforming it into a story that informs as well as entertains, I’d like to see a short note on your research approach and one sample that best shows your long-form storytelling skills.
