Hi everyone - as you may or may not know, I'm an editor for The Bitcoin Sun- I write all the articles about development news and goings on, which is something I'd like to change! I'd like to get writers signed up, and try and am aiming to have 1-2 articles freelanced at anywhere from 2-3 btc each, for roughly a page and a half to two pages of reporting on the goings on of the Development team, feature requests, community development, etc.
Essentially, I'm looking for articles that boil down the developer forum's posts into a coherent, easy to read format. Topics should be cleared with me in advance, and articles should be timely (We are a
news organization, after all
).
Repeat writers will get priority with their articles, and potentially a more steady job, but new writers will be subject to review and will only be paid based on quality of the article.
A good article should describe the discussion/problem, describe why it is important to regular users/miners/businesses/ etc.
So basically, if you want a constant contributor I'm (one of) your guy(s). I'm a talented writer, kinda along the lines of a Palahniuk or Salinger, with a current events/political twist. I love to write and I love reporting on anything. Bitcoin is one of the most interesting concepts to me; I've been dreaming about digital currency since I was a child. Kinda wish I'd found out about this sooner (I've only been into this stuff since the end of March and only registered here today), because I kinda wish I had been working on getting some coins for longer. Anyways, if you want a sample, give me a topic to write on and a couple of days to write it. Thank you for your time.
