Freelancer with business and technical writing experience wanted!

Bert Rhine called me yesterday afternoon with a freelance opportunity. He's looking for a "freelance" writer to create a press release, a newspaper article, and a magazine story.  He wants someone with experience in business and technical writing.  The client who you would be working for has developed a new technology/process for extracting oil from sandoil.  According to Bert, if you search the Internet under "sandoil" you'll see a variety of stories, but mainly about the sandoil mining happening in Alberta, Canada.

His client has an improved technology and wants to do a media blitz in print to generate awareness of this newly-improved process.

The freelancer can be located anywhere in the U.S.  The machine currently is in Tulsa, Okla., but a trip there won't be necessary.  The principals of the company are available via phone for interviews.  There is a website www.nevtahoilsands.com

This is a one-time project, with possible follow-ups and updates.  The project should take one to two weeks at the most. The deadline is mid-September.  You'll be operating as an independent contractor and the pay range is $2,000 - $3,000. 

Please submit your interest and your background to Bert@BRMarketing.com.

Hi there,

I'm a freelancer and SPJ member. I had a question about Life magazine. I used to get it  every Friday as an insert with the Tribune-owned Orlando Sentinel. No more. Life's Web site is under construction. Does anyone know what's going on with Life magazine? I'd like to pitch them.

Thanks so much!

Amy

Life Magazine as an insert folded. Last I heard there was still to be a Web site, but that very well may have been done away with as well.
