Need excellent travel writers now - UK/USA/SA/AUS/NZ only

Hi I need a couple of experienced travel writers who are passionate about their subject. You absolutely MUST BE native English. The work is varied and you will also have the opportunity occasionally to decide your own subjects. Currently there is a large project on global destinations that is paying $7.50 per text - an example is attached. This rate is non-negotiable and neither is the format of the articles. It looks a lot but much is gathered from the 2 pages of wikipedia and wikitravel - it just needs a personal touch from a writer who is passionate about their subject. As much as I can I try to accommodate your destination preferences, matching articles to where you have been or enjoy writing about. I would like to see at least 2 samples of recent work (as different as possible) but may ask shortlisted candidates to submit a short sample on a subject of my choosing. If you have links to published work please supply them. Please bid $30 but let me know how many of the texts as per the sample you can do in a week. Please also specify your rate for writing 500 words, 600 words and 1000 words for standard travel articles.. I look forward to hearing from you and am happy to answer any questions. Denise
