    I have a news satire website, but I can't always update it wish fresh content during the week.

    I'm looking for someone who can write good news satire - you must be native British (preferably) or American/Canadian/Australian.

    I'm looking for the kind of content that you find on websites like The Onion, and if you manage to find my site The News Giraffe online, you'll see the kind of stories I write on there.

    I am willing to pay for this content - I'm not expecting something for nothing. I'm a writer myself so I understand.

    Each story will be around 150-250 words.

    Please PM me with the following info:

    • Where you're from
    • Your price per news story
    • Any experience (although this is irrelevant if you're good (and funny))
    • An idea for a news story (I will not use it - I just want to know what your humour/creativity is like)
    Looking forward to finding the right one!

    Is a Pakistani writer acceptable? Asking because you didn't mention that don't reply to this ad if you are from somewhere than the mentioned countries.

    Well, you can respond to this ad no matter which country you're from. I'm not some draconian ruler who orders you all around.

    However, I did say that you 'must' be native British or from an English-speaking country, which is basically saying I'm unlikely to consider you if you're from elsewhere.

    My post clearly states news satire. From what I've seen so far from your posts, your English isn't up to the standard I would want (aka the standard of a non-native).

    Sorry pal.

    Refer to my original post and send a message if you'd like to be considered. Please only get in touch if your writing is at the standard of a native.
