$25-50 AUD / hour

I am looking to hire a talented, witty writer (preferably based in Australia or New Zealand) who can research and write news summaries for a young female working professional market (22-34 year old) based in Australia on a daily basis (Monday to Friday). It will be sent in an email newsletter with news summaries on the top trending stories of either the previous day or the upcoming day with categories ranging from politics to entertainment to inspiring success stories. I would like the summaries to be written in a simple yet witty tone to allow the audience to digest the news quickly. Please refer to The Skimm ([login to view URL]) as an example of the type of writing I would like. In your cover letter, please write a 150 word summary for both of the articles below.

Hello, I would love to work on this project with you. I am in the US, which I know isn’t your preference, but I hope that isn’t the deciding factor. I am hard-working and loyal. And I love to write! This sounds like a really exciting opportunity. I did not use the headers like on theSkimm (or any headers really). However, I am not opposed to doing so; I just wasn’t certain if this was for that site or you just wanted the writing to be in a similar style. I wrote up samples, but cannot see how to attach them. The characters are too limiting. I did not go through and do a detailed editing or anything. Just did a quick write up. I would really like you to see them. Perhaps you can message me, and I can send you the file with the samples? Thank you. Here is a start: We all know by now that Donald Trump has won the presidency. Some of us may still be in shock, and that includes the president-elect himself. Seems like someone has splashed some cold water on his face, because he is finally coming to the realization that people actually voted for him and is starting to choose his cabinet. Trump claims that the reason he did not select any cabinet members is because he was superstitious. Was it truly superstition or did he just not think it was possible he could actually win the election? There does not seem to be any certainty yet as to who will become an official cabinet member, but the list of potential candidates is growing. They all seem to be gathering at Trump Tower,

Hi, the proposal space allowed me to send you only a part of one of the summaries. If you send me a message, I can send you the file with both. I have double-majored in Business Administration and Journalism and Mass Communication. I have worked as a brand manager in the marketing department of an American corporation and then as a marketing manager in a German company. Both are FMCG companies and are in the sales of branded consumer goods internationally. Currently, I am running an online fashion retail website myself and working on freelance projects. I am fluent in English as I have graduated the American University in Bulgaria. I believe my background makes me an appropriate candidate for the job but, of course, I am willing to discuss further your expectations and deadlines in case you are interested. Kardashian fans were out of the «Kim» loop since October 3, when the star was robbed at gunpoint in Paris. After the trauma, she has removed herself from the public eye, but the time to give her fans a treat has come! Kim is back! Or rather, her brother Rob is! He took over her website and did live reporting on the Halloween festivities of the reality star and her two children North and Saint. One of the images was a close up of the mom and daughter kissing, both wearing turquoise Princess Jasmine costumes. Kim's nude lipstick, make up, and raven locks were elaborately done to resemble those of the cartoon princess.

I am an American professional that is confident my skill set. I hold myself to the highest standards given my credentials and experience; resulting in under budget and ahead of scheduled projects. Why hire me? 1.) I am a Native English Speaker with a plethora of certifications: English 1 Exam (93%), English 2 Exam (98%), (78%) English 3 exam, and on the Academic Writing Exam (80%). To kindly note, These tests are rigorous and that is why not many members have acquired them. 2.) My resume and brief writing samples can be viewed further in depth in my portfolio. I am confident in my skill set, and I hold myself to the highest standards given my credentials. I have many other writing samples I could also share with you as well in chat. 3.) Anyone can say they have some form of a degree, so I include a verified photo of my Master’s Degree in my portfolio. This ensures that your work is being handled by a true professional. 4.) I am a Technical Writer II If you compare my qualifications with the other freelancers, I don’t think many match the well rounded criteria that I cover. I take great pride in my work and believe I could produce exactly what you are looking for. I hope to discuss this opportunity with you further as your instructions seem clear. Kind regards, Josh

Located in Melbourne Australia (born and raised), I am very keen to undertake the content writing services which you have listed in your advertisement. I have had many published works in online and print publications and have written numerous books on topics of interest as well. I provide unique, local, witty content quickly and easily. Trump article: President elect Trump has repeatedly promised to 'drain the swamp' and clear out Capitol Hill from 'Washington Insiders'. However, the stirring firebrand seems to be quickly adjusting to the realities of taking on the job as leader of the free world. Recognising the inherent risks of Governor Christie continuing to lead his presidential transition team because of ongoing political scandal, Trump has chosen the safer road by promoting Vice President elect Mike Pence to this important role. Promising to govern for all Americans, Trump is looking increasingly likely to adopt a mostly white male Presidential cabinet with like minded right wing hawks such as Newt Gingrich and Rudy Giuliani to be offered major roles of influence in the Trump team. Governor Christie will be rewarded for his loyalty as a Trump loyalist unless his political scandals continue to raise the orange brow of the President elect. After an awkward but surprisingly pleasant meeting between the current and future Presidents, it will be fascinating to hear more of Trump's vision in the days and weeks to come.

Hi, I'm an Australian freelance writer based in London. I've previously written for TV WEEK, The Culture Trip, Australian Geographic, Cosmopolitan, Girlfriend, Junkee, Mamamia and more. I'd loved to be involved with TheSkimm. It seems like there's a word limit on this message so I've attached the first example of my writing below and the second example is also available if needed. Kindest, Erin DUMPED BY TRUMP THE STORY US President-elect Donald Trump has given top aide Chris Christie, the flick in favour of Vice President-elect Mike Pence. WHAT HAPPENED Following the shock election of Donald Trump in the US, there has been mad rush to get his team ready in time. But it seems the man in charge of making the handing over of keys from Obama as smooth as possible, Chris Christie, couldn’t get it together fast enough. The former head of transition has been forced to transition out of his job after Trump replaced him with his wingman Mike Pence. Ouch! THESKIMM It is hoped that by appointing Pence in charge of the transition process, he’ll be able to draw upon his experience and contacts in Washington DC. Trump’s got his fingers crossed that by doing this, the changeover will more seamless. He wants to hit the ground the running when he officially takes over the government in January. Only time will tell how this pans out…
