    I have 12+ years of experience as a degree-educated journalist, content writer and editor. I have worked with all shapes and sizes of client across a huge range of industries and I am Top Rated Plus with 100% job success. My rates are negotiable but, if you have a small budget, we are unlikely to be a good fit as I produce very high-quality work. I will not usually be able to work for below $0.10 per word. I am comfortable writing about virtually anything, my spelling and grammar are of the highest order and I will not rest until you are satisfied with my work. I specialise in travel, sports and betting-related content but I am happy to discuss projects in other areas. I can also proofread and edit content and I provide SEO advice, content strategy tips and social media marketing guidance. I can record videos and host podcasts for you. Whatever your content needs, I can help. I am a native English speaker, born and raised in the UK. I am now highly experienced on Upwork - developing a number of successful long-term relationships with clients after having graduated from the Rising Talent scheme - and I look forward to working with you.

    WHAT YOU NEED: You've got the story, you'd just like some help telling it. You've got the product, but you need the creative copy and content marketing that will spread the word. You've got the grades, but will your personal statement get you into an Ivy League school? WHO I AM: I'm a Brooklyn-based writer and editor with over eight years of experience in journalism, editing, and writing both creative and promotional. As a student at the University of Southern California (USC), I studied Print & Digital Journalism for two years, during which time I contributed to numerous student and independent publications as a writer and editor. I switched majors my sophomore year and graduated Phi Beta Kappa and Magna Cum Laude with a B.A. in Narrative Studies, an interdisciplinary writing and literature degree. Since 2015, I have operated a peer-to-peer editing service called Run The Jules, focusing mostly on remote editing for academic essays, college applications and medical/law school applications. My students have gained entry to prestigious institutions such as Brown University, UCLA, LMU, USC Keck Medical School, and Harvard Law School. I currently serve as the copy editor for monthly trade journal mg Magazine and a staff copywriter for 1o8 Agency, where I write blog posts, white papers and web copy for businesses in a variety of niches, from higher education to quantum computing. For three years, I served as Head Writer and Copy Editor for Lafayette Social, a Bay Area-based publication with a circulation of about 10,000. In addition to penning three of the magazine's feature stories each month, I edited and proofread the entire magazine from rough draft to final proof, ensuring that our content was consistent and professional. When I'm not editing, I work in music licensing and enjoy camping, going to concerts, and playing guitar. As a graduate of the Americorps National Civilian Community Corps (NCCC), I value service to my community and spent years volunteering with food security and gardening-oriented nonprofits around the LA area. WHAT I OFFER: • proofreading/copy editing (digital content, blogs, academic writing and business writing) • content creation for blogs, online publications and marketing campaigns • editing and advising on college and graduate school application essays, cover letters, grants and scholarship essays • press releases, creative advertising copy, social media copy, promotional content • quick turnaround, reliable communication, constructive feedback Life is busy, and writing isn't easy. Let me polish your content, sell your ideas, and bring your stories to life. Cheers, Jules

    I am a journalist and freelance writer specializing in sports and politics. I have produced daily content for clients on a wide variety of topics from senior care to Middle Eastern politics. I thoroughly enjoy writing, and I also write creatively in my free time. I have Bachelor's degrees in Political Science and Media Studies from the University of Colorado Boulder and a Master of Science in Political Science from Leiden University. These studies have allowed me to study a wide variety of fields and write about different historical periods, cultures and lifestyles. I enjoy football (soccer), basketball, politics and fiction reading/writing. My studies have also had an international focus, so I enjoy writing with the international community in mind, and I think this allows me to reach a larger audience.

    As long as I remember, I've always been passionate about writing and storytelling. It's passion and dedication that have helped me carve my way through the challenging field of media. Today my copy is concise, fresh, and lively, with a human-focused approach. As a versatile writer, I can cover different niches and write for various audiences. Most of my career experience comes from working as a journalist and it has been one hell of a journey! I've worked as an investigative reporter in Georgia (country), covered business stories for Donald W. Reynolds National Center for Business Journalism in the U.S., reported on the migration crisis from Panama, and wrote human success stories for EU4Business. I've been a Fulbright Fellow at Arizona State University, one of the top journalism schools in the U.S., and got my master's degree there. I have been published in top publications across the U.S., including The Washington Post and The New York Times. That's just part of my story. I can't wait to write next chapter with you! ____________________________________________ I can help with projects that involve: ⦁ News ⦁ Articles ⦁ Blog posts ⦁ Press releases ⦁ Interviews ⦁ Research ⦁ Reports ⦁ Media monitoring ⦁ Bios ⦁ YouTube Scripts ⦁ Research ⦁ Reports ⦁ Media monitoring ⦁ Proofreading and editing

    I will work with you to tighten, clarify and strengthen your content while preserving your voice. I will also write original, on-brand content that will engage your readers. I've been writing and editing professionally for 15 years, and I have a bachelor's degree in journalism and a minor in creative writing. This has equipped me with journalistic discipline and ethics combined with fluency in creative writing techniques. What I've been writing and editing recently: • Marketing copy, including long-form assets, blog posts, and case studies. I know how to engage the reader, answer "why," and call to action. • Scripts for a daily podcast with a wide listenership, conduct and record interviews, and research. • Articles. • Newsletter and social media copy. • Long-form fiction. • Copy for display advertisements. For years, I led an award-winning newsroom to produce weekly coverage of crime, politics, and events. Next, I was the final stamp on all external publications for the largest state government agency in Oklahoma. I also led a small team of writers and photographers to produce a monthly e-magazine for that agency. I keep up with yearly revisions of the Associated Press (AP) Stylebook, as well as developments and trends in the industry, including the ever-changing landscape of SEO. For editing work, here's my process: 1. You share your draft with me as a Google or Word doc. 2. I give it a pass for developmental edits, tracking my changes so you can accept or reject each one individually. This includes comments when necessary and an "overall feedback" breakdown at the top of the document. 3. Once your new draft is ready, I give it a second pass, this time focusing on proofreading/line editing. 4. What follows (and the timeline) depends on the unique needs of your content. Of course, all this is negotiable. If you have a project in mind, let's talk.

    Hi Upworkers! I am Giuditta, a four years experienced journalist who has discovered marketing along the way. Here's what I can do for you: 1) TRANSLATION: thanks to my Linguistics degree, I can translate professionally from English to Italian; 2) EDITING: what about that book you have in a drawer, waiting for a Final Edit to become a best-selling memoir? I am here for it! 3) WRITING: I can rewrite or write blog posts, SEO articles, product descriptions, and long articles. I check data, add a bibliography, whatever is needed to make your article sound like a call to action, clear and concise. Just tell me your audience and your goal... And we can get it started! I come from a degree in Linguistics and Literature in the wonderful Italian city of Bologna (2017). Then I started working for a local newspaper and SEO optimizing some personal blogs for an agency. I have translated academic papers while I was attending University. In 2020 I landed in Upwork.

How to Hire Top Journalists

How to hire journalists

A big part of content marketing is covering the news. If you want to create compelling content designed to keep your audience informed about newsworthy events in your industry, a journalist can help.

So how do you hire journalists? What follows are some tips for finding top journalists on Upwork

How to shortlist journalism professionals

As you’re browsing available journalism consultants, it can be helpful to develop a shortlist of the freelancers you may want to interview. You can screen profiles on criteria such as:

  • Industry fit. You want a journalist who understands your industry so they can write news stories that resonate with your target market.
  • Project experience. Screen candidate profiles for specific skills and experience (e.g., writing press releases).
  • Feedback Check reviews from past clients for glowing testimonials or red flags that can tell you what it’s like to work with a particular journalist.

How to write an effective journalism job post

With a clear picture of your ideal journalist in mind, it’s time to write that job post. Although you don’t need a full job description as you would when hiring an employee, aim to provide enough detail for a contractor to know if they’re the right fit for the project.

An effective journalism job post should include:

  • Scope of work: From covering the news to ghostwriting for your blog, list all the deliverables you’ll need.
  • Project length: Your job post should indicate whether this is a smaller or larger project.
  • Background: If you prefer experience with certain industries or writing styles, mention this here.
  • Budget: Set a budget and note your preference for hourly rates vs. fixed-price contracts.

JOURNALISTS FAQ

What is journalism?

Journalism is the practice of writing news stories, usually for magazines, newspapers, and blogs. Journalists bring together a mix of creative writing, storytelling, and research.

Here’s a quick overview of the skills you should look for in journalism consultants:

  • Journalism
  • Research
  • Writing expertise (copywriting, ghostwriting, content creation)
  • Editing and proofreading
  • Industry-specific expertise (e.g., health, finance, science)

Why hire journalists?

The trick to finding top journalists is to identify your needs. Is your goal to cover company milestones in regular press releases? Will your journalist need to conduct their own research and perform their own interviews? The cost of your project will depend largely on your scope of work and the specific skills needed to bring your project to life.

How much does it cost to hire a journalist?

Rates can vary due to many factors, including expertise and experience, location, and market conditions.

  • An experienced journalist may command higher fees but also work faster, have more specialized areas of expertise, and deliver a higher-quality product.
  • A contractor who is still in the process of building a client base may price their journalism services more competitively.

Which one is right for you will depend on the specifics of your project.
