FC&A Publishing (fca.com) is looking for expert freelance writers to report on specific foods or nutrients and how they prevent or combat common health conditions.
FC&A produces self-help books for seniors, marketed via Direct Mail. Your stories will be incorporated into our current book project.
ABOUT THE COMPANY
As a leader in the marketing and publishing industry since 1969, we specialize in nonfiction, self-help publications. We love to discover the latest and greatest information in a variety of categories such as healthy living, household and gardening, money-saving, computer know-how, and so much more! The Mission of FC&A is to develop long-term customers and associates by providing excellent products and services profitably, within a framework of Christian values, through the media of quality publishing and advertising.
ABOUT THE ROLE
The work involves accepting outlined assignments from editors, writing from peer-reviewed studies (no interviews required), and frequently incorporating marketing copy into the text. Stories must be fun to read, informative, written at an 8th grade reading level, and match FC&A’s conversational style.
We will provide an outline and most of the research you will need. We pay by the word, will start with an article that might range from 250-500 words, and expect a maximum 2-day turnaround. If we are both happy with the arrangement, we can discuss further work.
