Here’s the release I’ve been sending out today seeking additional writers for the magazines I edit, Fine Lifestyles Regina and the about-to-launch Fine Lifestyles Saskatoon:

***

Edward Willett, editor of Fine Lifestyles Regina, continues to seek freelance writers to work on the magazine, and is now also seeking writers for Fine Lifestyles Saskatoon, a sister publication launching this spring.

He’s looking for two kinds of writing: features (longer stories not tied to a particular advertiser) and advertorial (typically business profiles; these are part of a an advertising package purchased by a client and subject to the client’s approval).

On the feature side, he’ll be looking for or assigning lead articles for each of these sections:

• Wheels
• Style
• Dining, Entertainment and Arts
• Sports, Recreation and Leisure
• Health and Wellness
• House, Home and Property
• Business, Financial and Legal

Feature articles are typically about 1,275 words. Advertorial can vary, but typically runs either 425 words (one page) or 850 (two pages) with only a few going longer.

Rates start at 10 cents a word, but can rise with experience. The magazine also pays $25 per photo used.

For features, the magazines buy one-time print rights and non-exclusive web rights (the magazine appears in facsimile online). Although most stories will be specific to one of the two cities, those with a more general focus may run in both magazines. Advertorial is work-for-hire: the magazine buys all rights.
