Yes.

#freelance-gigs - October 22, 2024 at 03:26 PM

Hello all! Please note re: above freelance tech writing gig for The Writing Company, that $45 is the low end of a possible range.

#freelance-gigs - October 22, 2024 at 12:35 AM

Yes only US-based please. Thanks for asking.

Good morning! Do you have an employee in New York, with your business based in another state? I am hoping someone might help me with a specific question related to New York’s disability/PFL law. I am getting three different answers from my insurance broker, the NY Workers Comp Board and my payroll company. If you think you might have any knowledge on this front, please let me know!

#freelance-gigs - January 26, 2022 at 02:42 PM

@Oyin Thanks for asking. We are looking for US-based writers for now. We are considering the possibility of working with international writers.

We are looking for writers who can cover some of these topics and are interested in writing about the other sectors we cover as well. If you have anyone in mind, please share the job description with them. Thanks!

Thank you @Nikolas Wright and @Skyler Reeves. Very helpful!

Would appreciate any insight into issues related to a US-based agency hiring freelancers from other countries. Specifically:
• Are there legal or other reporting issues I need to be concerned with?
• How do you pay?
Thanks!

Does anyone have an IT services company or consultant you would recommend? My company is looking to get a cybersecurity assessment. Thank you.

Katie, we do pay for test pieces - at the same hourly rate we’d pay the writer if we hire them.

#agency-life - October 19, 2021 at 05:34 PM

Hi @Katie Bray. Earlier this year we started using the same trial assignment and set of instructions for all our new prospects. It’s been useful not to have to worry about client deadlines or wait for just the right assignment to come along. And it’s particularly helpful to compare prospects’ efficiency and quality on the same assignment. We offer the trial assignment once we have qualified them based on their experience, etc. It means a bit more expense on the front end, but it has been worth it.

Thanks so much

#agency-life - September 23, 2021 at 05:45 PM

Thanks, @Carolyn Lyden! That’s really useful. Is that from a publicly accessible source?

#agency-life - September 23, 2021 at 05:18 PM

Managing editor perhaps?

#agency-life - September 23, 2021 at 04:35 PM

Compensation question: What might a mid- to senior-level editorial person -- 8+ years experience as a writer, editor and project manager with client management skills — be able to command at an agency either for salary + benefits or a freelance hourly rate? Thanks!
