FC&A Publishing is looking for a health and nutrition writer

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.

Email to editorial@fca.com a writing sample that resembles this article on the FC&A website (tinyurl.com/463ad4pp), plus a link to relevant clips or a writing portfolio.

REQUIREMENTS

Candidates must have expertise in writing consumer health, knowledge of AP style, strong research and analytical skills, as well as the ability to craft engaging headlines and story leads. No bylines. Immediate availability required.

WHAT TO INCLUDE IN SUBMISSION

  • Write a short introduction about yourself
  • Include a paragraph highlighting your writing experience, relevant credentials and publication credits
