Freelance job, rewriting of 3 articles for ezinearticles.com, payment: $20 per article

Contact: Stawrew@gmx.de

I am looking for someone to rewrite 3 of my articles. Two of them are already accepted and published on articlebase.com. You can see them here:

- The 5 Best Sources For Real Estate Listings in Germany

- Buying a House or Flat in Berlin - A Secret Tactic to Get a Great Property for "Dirt-Cheap"

I submitted the 3 articles to ezinearticles.com in the first place but they were rejected because they did not comply with the editorial guidelines of ezinearticles.com.

Since the articles were in the meantime accepted by articlebase, they have to be rewritten so that they are unique before submitting them again to ezinarticels.com.

Also, I would like that the articles are SEO-optimized and rang well in Google. I am targeting the keywords “real estate Germany” and “real estate Berlin Germany”.

However, the most important thing for me is that the articles are accepted and published by ezinarticles.com.

My budget is $20 per article; that means $60 for all 3 articles. I would prefer to pay 50 % upfront and the rest when the articles are accepted and published by ezinearticles.com.

Please send me some of your examples and your track-record with ezinearticles, because I want to make sure that the articles will be accepted.

Also, let me see that you have SEO-experience with regard to article writing.

I will send you the third article (that is still reviewed by articlebase) and the emails I received from ezinarticles explaining why they rejected my articles (although I couldn´t understand the explanation anyway).

As for communication, please email me at Stawrew@gmx.de because I live in Berlin, Germany and there is a significant time difference between the US or Asia and Europe. So, it will be difficult to find a time that is good for both of us to talk on the phone.

No application fee, McCloy Fellowship in Journalism, stipend: $200 per day (USA/ Germany)

Deadline: 30 April 2011

Time spent reporting abroad has the potential to transform young journalists’ modes of thinking and broaden their professional horizons. Though the current global political landscape is in rapid flux and offers exciting subjects for young journalists to confront, funding for foreign correspondence at many newspapers and other media organizations remains low.

The American Council on Germany helps fill this void with our McCloy Fellowships in Journalism, which provide print, broadcast, and new-media journalists in relatively early stages of their careers with the opportunity to travel to Europe or the United States for up to 21 days to conduct on-site research and interviews and pursue stories of their own design. Fellows also have the option to apply for an extension of up to seven additional days. Past fellows have explored a wide range of topics, including public-policy issues that bear significance for the United States, Germany, and the European Union, such as immigration, security, trade relations, and health care. Fellows’ research often results in newspaper articles or radio shows, and some fellows have expanded their projects into books.

McCloy Fellowships in Journalism provide transatlantic roundtrip airfare, approved inter-city travel, and a daily stipend of $200 for up to 21 days abroad to cover housing, meals, and local transportation. Journalists attached to media organizations are encouraged to apply. Freelance journalists are asked to demonstrate where resulting articles and/or other pieces could be placed. Applicants must hold U.S. or German citizenship to be eligible. American applicants may travel to Germany and/or other EU27 countries, provided that the project bears significance for contemporary Germany within the wider EU context. For American applicants, while knowledge of the German language may be helpful, it is not a prerequisite of the program. German applicants must travel to the United States, and all German applicants must be proficient in English.

All candidates must submit the following to the address below:

1) a cover letter outlining what you expect to gain in terms of personal and professional development from this fellowship; 2) a current curriculum vitae; 3) a project proposal of at least two pages detailing the background and scope of your proposed story or stories, the general sources with whom you plan to consult while abroad, and the relevance of the project for transatlantic relations; 4) two letters of recommendation; and
5) (if applicable) a statement outlining why an extension beyond 21 days is preferred.

Send all materials to:

Selection Committee, McCloy Fellowship in Journalism
American Council on Germany
14 East 60th Street, Suite 1000
New York, NY 10022 USA
