Bedford Anthology American Literature Susan Thank You

¶ … Bedford Anthology American Literature Susan

Thank you for your interest in this freelance opportunity. The company I work for is Target Market Media Publications, Inc. It is a phoenix-based publisher of business-to-business magazines. We have a number of different publications: Attorney at Law Magazine, Financial Consultant Magazine (launching this February), Public Accountant and soon C-Level. Based on your resume and the enclosed article, I believe you would be a good addition to our team of freelance writers. Please review the information below and let me know if you are interested.

Attorney at Law Magazine is our most popular publication. We have local publishers in different markets across the country. They each publish their own local edition of the magazine.

Attorney at Law Magazine is about the business of law, not law. The editorial focus of the magazine is on building a firm, gaining and maintaining clients, legal marketing, etc.

One of our biggest products in the magazine is our feature stories. Attorneys or law firms purchase feature stories to be printed in the magazine. Not every feature story is purchased. We award an Attorney of the Month cover story every month. These clients are purchasing a professionally written article, a photo shoot and the layout, design and printing of their article.

Since these feature stories are paid, the client is a collaborative part of the development of the article. The contracted freelance writer will be given a job through a work order. They will contact the local publisher of that edition. The publisher will give any advice about the client or the direction of the article. The writer will then set up a phone interview with the client. It usually takes 30-60 minutes.

Afterward, the writer will draft the article and turn it into the client for review and approval. The deadline given on the work order is for the submission of the first draft to the client. At that point, the client is prompted to make any technical changes or note any errors. The client will respond with their notes, the writer will make those changes and send a PDF to the client. The client will sign, scan and e-mail the PDF to the writer. The writer will then e-mail the final word document, the signed PDF and their invoice to the Associate Editor.
