Part 1

Freelance Writing for Forum West, based out of New York City

For the free lance job, my reader will be a local New York City newspaper editor. My reader’s cultural characteristics are those that meet the needs of Western Queens. I can tell because the coverage of my writing would be in the Western Queens of New York City. I would cover Maspeth, Middle Village, Glendale, Ridgewood, Forest Hills, and Rego Park. For this job, I am expected to write feature stories that are 500-750 words in length. I also must have transportation and be flexible to cover several districts. My experience will get the reader to read my document. I would expect that experience one of the first things that the employers will look too. Also, I will be able to provide several articles that I have published.
The reader is looking for several skills. First, I will need to be flexible because I will be writing a variety of story forms. Second, I must be educated and capable of writing AP- style stories. Third, I must be able to meet deadlines on time and work in a timely fashion that meets the needs of the newspaper.
I am about to finish my four-year degree. During my time in college, I have pursued writing and media production. My experience comes from both my education and in class work as well as my current job as a sports and feature reporter for Frenshiptoday.com. My work is published in over 30 newspapers. I am able to show my professional blogging online. Also, I have several photography works that will help the newspaper.
