Freelance writing, I-LeadUSA.com, pays $50 per story/ $500 for best submission

I-LEAD Inc. is offering community and freelance writers the following special opportunity involving the description of success stories:



Working with numerous community leaders, I-LEAD has created a guide to neighborhood transformation entitled Community Through Personal Responsibility.



You can find it online at http://i-leadusa.org/cpr-initiative/. We are preparing it for print and e-reader publication.



We are seeking two short case studies to illustrate each of the 21 specific action steps included in the guide. We envision short, engaging narratives (250-500 words) for each action step. Writers can select one or more action steps for their submissions. Please use the chosen action step(s) as the subtitle for the story. If your work is selected, we will pay $50.00 per story and give each contributing writer credit in the published version of the guide. In addition, we plan to award $500 for the most compelling piece received. The guide will be updated annually to include additional stories.



Interested writers, please write a short case study about good community work being done in the arenas of personal and community health, education, employment or other area within the scope of CPR.
