Here are some of the most common questions asked by new World Words contributors.<\/p>\n
World Words is an expert travel content writing agency. In fact, we are the only content agency that exclusively specialises in travel writing. Our in-house team of travel writers and editors works with freelance travel writers to produce high quality travel content for our clients. Here’s some more salesy stuff about World Words<\/a>.<\/p>\n We create original travel content that informs, instructs and inspires, from feature articles that get travellers talking to destination guides that shape adventures. Here are just some of the writing and editing services we provide<\/a>.<\/p>\n World Words calls on its freelance contributors for a wide range of travel writing projects. As a writer, you could be producing print and web feature articles, blog articles, city and country guides, tour itineraries, audio tour scripts, SEO website copy and more besides. You may also be called on for proofreading and editing.<\/p>\n Yes, you can see a limited portfolio of our work on our projects page<\/a>.<\/p>\n We write for several clients across the travel sector. Current and previous clients include luxury travel magazines, national newspapers, travel agents, tour companies, airlines, tourist boards, cruise liners, car rental firms, city hotels, beach resorts, sightseeing attractions and travel apps. Here are some of our current clients<\/a>.<\/p>\n Potentially, yes. We will approach you on a project-by-project basis, so if we like your work and you are regularly available, there could be lots of work for you. Alternatively, if you have other commitments during the week and just want to take on the odd job when available, that\u2019s fine.<\/p>\n Wherever you are. This is a remote freelance position, so you choose where and when to work. As long as you are easily contactable and can complete briefs to deadline (without exception), we\u2019ll be happy.<\/p>\n There\u2019s no fixed commitment. We approach you with new projects as they come in, and you\u2019re free to accept or turn them down according to your availability. Though of course the writers who are more regularly available are likely to be the first in line for new work.<\/p>\n Once you are signed up as a World Words contributor, we will consider you for all new projects that come in. If we think you are the best candidate for a particular job, we’ll send a detailed brief outlining the project, the set rate and the deadline. If you\u2019re free and willing, you can accept the project and get started immediately.<\/p>\n Every job is different, so deadlines vary dramatically. However, we generally like to get work to clients as quickly as possible, so be prepared to write to relatively tight turnaround times.<\/p>\n Yes, very strict. We expect writers to deliver their work on or before the deadline, every time. Meeting deadlines without exception is a prerequisite for working with World Words.<\/p>\n Our set rates vary per job. But it roughly works out at \u00a320 GBP per hour, factoring in time spent for non-writing activities like research, photo sourcing and interviewing. So, as a rough guide, a formulaic 500-word blog post might pay \u00a340, while a high quality magazine article of the same length might pay \u00a3100.<\/p>\n We use the extensive experience and knowledge of our in-house writing team, as well as feedback from our freelancers, to work out a fair and honest rate for every job.<\/p>\n Every month. At the end of each month, you\u2019ll send us an invoice detailing all the projects completed since your last invoice. This will be paid within 28 days of the invoice deadline.<\/p>\n We make all payments in British pounds sterling (GBP), so require invoices in this currency. We can either pay these by UK bank transfer or via Paypal (funds will be sent in GBP but can be converted into other currencies).<\/p>\n Still sure you have what it takes?
