Writer Sought for Disability Journalism Project
Seeking writer fluent in issues facing disabled people in the Greater Philadelphia Area for grant-funded project focusing on the impact of COVID-19.
The project seeks to connect community newspapers (including the Swarthmorean) with disabled writers who will write four to eight articles under the supervision of the newspaper editor. Articles will be based on interviews gathered as part of the larger project, but the angle and scope will be determined with the editor. Pay is $300/article.
Please email Dr. Kelly George (kgeorge@immaculata.edu) with your resume along with a brief note expressing your interest in writing for the project and two relevant writing samples, either journalistic prose or writing that shows your knowledge of the subject.
