AXN Insider produces 800-word op-eds on behalf of African entrepreneurs and places those pieces in the Wall Street Journal, Entrepreneur, FT, Newsweek, Al-Jazeera, and elsewhere. These op-eds give our clients a voice in the West that helps them attract the resources they need to grow.

To help us meet demand, we are recruiting a team of skilled, reliable writers from NY and London journalism schools as freelancers. Each 750-900 word op-ed must be sharp, well-researched, and in the form of a credible argument. Applicants must have the flexibility to complete an op-ed (research, first draft, edits, final draft) in 5 days' time. The structure of the op-ed is always the same: an eye-catching introduction, three paragraphs (each its own crystal clear argument), and a conclusion.

The idea and skeleton will come from our team but the end product will be ghostwritten by you. This is a great way to learn the landscape, gain experience, and refine writing skills
