Seeking a journalism student for a few (potentially more) writing jobs. This is a remote position.

My client has several ideas for business related blog posts that he would like brought to life. He’d like someone to interview him (for each post), extract the useful content, and turn it into a blog post using his voice / his words.

There would be some back and forth in the creation process to make sure the meaningful content has been captured in the (perhaps multiple) conversations/interviews, followed by writing a post, and doing some back and forth on refining it until it is ready to be published.

This would be a paid hourly position as the exact amount of hours will vary per project (~$27/hour)
