Writer wanted, N London

[Lazzo]

Is anybody here a freelance scribe with an advertising or editorial background based in North London?

This is for a new project that frankly I can't say much about yet but I can tell you that you'd need to live or be based somewhere close to Enfield because you'd have to conduct interviews with certain people on a regular basis for an internal magazine and I'm sure you won't want to spend hours travelling miles on the clogged-up bomb-sites optimistically called roads in these parts.

As it is a new project and still in development this isn't exactly a guaranteed offer either, but interest - if any - would be appreciated. Thanks!

Miro, I have to be honest and say that I can (almost) bet my house that the man in charge won't agree to that! He's going to want someone considerably older and with editorial experience.

Which isn't a reflection on you personally or your abilities; and if I attempt to dig myself out of this post any further I'll sound like a patronising crumbly which I'd rather not do!

I have made a mental note of your Russian language skills though.

Well im ok with russian, and speak perfect bulgarian and english. Understandably, i know what you mean about the employment. No harsh feelings taken )

Good; whilst lurking I read a lot of your posts and can understand your views. A bit of fresh blood doesn't go amiss in our business, other things may happen. Feel free to send bribes!

Back on track, is there a lack of professional scribes on this forum? Given the population I thought there would be several as members.

I can recommend an excellent fellah if there's a need. So far as this post goes, he's in the wrong part of London for the local day-to-day nature of this particular offer, but if anyone's interested in having consistent, quality copywriting from someone I've known and trusted for years*, I can invite him to join the forum if that's okay.

*Yes, I know I am an unknown quantity here thus far - references are available...

Ah, sorry, that sounds like promotion and an advert. Too long in this business - don't ban me.
