Project Detail

Description

Description: I am looking for 3-4 professionals to edit and reword articles that I will feed to them on a daily basis.
Deadlines, and commitment to quality is essential. I will send you articles, music reviews, synopsis, move reviews, and opinions. You will need to edit these and reword the articles, in your own style, and post them back to me. The average length of a reworded article will be between 250 and 400 words. There is no research, no original writing, no need for experience, or any kind of corroboration required. Your english should be good, and it can be subjective. The topics will be Education, Study Abroad, and Entertainment (specifically, Bollywood, and Music). Content will be International, and Pan-Asian for Education, and for the Entertainment, it will be India-centric primarily with some International writing. I will offer 4-5 articles per day, and the contract will run for 2 months at least. Once we have established a regular mode of working, I can offer you ideas for original articles too that will be paid more money. Please get back to me with your quotes. My budget is between $2.50 and $3.00 per article. I have enclosed 2 sample articles. Once I have reviewed your samples, I will advise feedback.
Best Regards, Pranay

Note: I have received some samples from freelancers. I wish to mention here that, the reworded version of the articles need to fit in the following parameters:
1. They should look informal, like a blog post. Do not use the same formatting as the original article.
2. Please shorten the article, without leaving out the important points. It is not important to mention everything.
3. This is Your perspective of the subject based on the original article. It can be subjective, and if it is opinionated, even better.
4. It must be between 250 and 400 words. Unless it is critical, please try to stay within this word limit.
Thanks, Pranay

I will close this project in 2-3 days. I have a few updates, and some minor changes in the requirements based on guidelines I have received. The major changes are as follows:
1. There will be a mix of articles, in terms of length.
2. I am still paying USD 2.50 for articles of length 400 words
3. However, I will now require a number of articles of length 150-200 words. I will pay a fee of USD 1.75 per rewrite for these articles.
4. You will get a mixed bag of articles. But on submission, all articles will be graded in only these 2 payscales. Either you will get USD 2.50 or USD 1.75.
5. Artificially lengthening the articles will not be allowed. I will specify the length I want each article to be worded to, when distributing the word.
6. Some of the professionals bidding have submitted their rewrites for the sample articles. I have received 7 rewrites of each article from most professionals.
7. Only those who submitted the sample rewrites will be considered. If you submitted only on 1 topic, you will be considered for only that topic.
8. I will send out a form to the chosen professionals. Please fill it in as best as possible and send back to me.
9. Payments will be fortnightly.
Best Regards, Pranay
