Description

We are an educational company which serves websites to our client schools in Scandinavia. For our English sites, we need articles of interest to students from ages 9-16. We are looking for a native English-speaking freelance writer to write non-fictional articles on many different topics. A degree in Journalism, English, Education, or English Literature would be helpful, but is not required. What is important is that you can write clearly and correctly with perfect grammar and punctuation.
All articles have to be written on 3 levels. The basic information has to be the same- only sentence structure and vocabulary changes. The information should be interesting to keep the learners attention, our goal is to expose them to the words in use to give them practice with their English skills. In other words, articles can cover a lot of vocabulary words but don't have to be encyclopedic in the presentation of information.

We use newspaper paragraphing for better readability on the internet, meaning 1 or 2 sentences per paragraph.

We do not want vague articles written off the top of your head. We are looking for journalistic style with facts and details
