Short articles / text blurbs for Education website

I’m looking for someone to write 150+ school descriptions for an education site, but **this initial bid is for 10 blurbs only,** so I can make sure I've found the right writer and established a good working relationship. I may select multiple bidders to make sure I find the right person, then work with that writer for the rest of the project. This project calls for you to write short descriptions of various colleges and universities. To keep things simple, we’ll refer to these descriptions as blurbs. Each blurb needs to be 150 - 200 words, giving a brief background of the school, the environment, etc. I’ve attached an example of what is required. The blurbs can be researched from other readily available web sources, including the school’s official website, but for copyright reasons all wording must be original ??" no copy and pasting from any other site or source will be accepted. Each description must be in your own words, and I will check for plagiarism. I will give you the names of the schools, all of which have websites and are easily found through a Google search. It’s just a matter of taking the content you find and combining/re-arranging it into something original. There is one source I will give you from which you can borrow some of the school descriptions but you still need to mix it up a bit to avoid having the same content as other sites. This is not a difficult task, and you don’t have to be very creative. But your English skills have to be good for this sort of thing, so if you’re not fluent in English please don’t bid. In other words, only skilled, qualified and experienced English writers should apply. I’d like to have a long-term pay rate of $1 per 150-200 word blurb. I have more than 150 schools that I need descriptions for, so keep that in mind when you place your bid. If your minimum is $5 - $10 per written piece, that would cost $750-$1500 ??" that’s not going to happen, so don’t bid. ## Deliverables You agree to the following by placing a bid: * For this initial batch of 10 blurbs, please be prepared to complete them within 2 days of bid acceptance. The rest of the blurbs will need to be completed in the next 2-3 weeks. If you are not 100% certain you have the time to commit to this project, please don’t bid. * I will give you 10 schools to start with, and if the quality is satisfactory, I will continue to provide steady work to you, until all 150+ blurbs are complete and possibly more “school description?? blurbs for future websites. * If your work is unsatisfactory or requires too much of my time going back and forth to get it right, we’ll part ways after this initial project with no hard feelings. You accept that it is up to me to decide what’s satisfactory and what isn’t. Deliverables: * Articles are to be submitted in groups of 10 as individual text files without formatting (just line breaks between paragraphs).
