min $50 USD / hour

A leading magazine has invited me to share my personal story, and I need a seasoned journalist to guide the entire interview process and deliver a polished, publish-ready feature. The conversation will revolve around my autobiography, with a clear emphasis on the personal milestones, relationships, and formative moments that shaped who I am today. You will be responsible for: • Designing probing, well-researched questions that illuminate my life beyond surface anecdotes while preserving a formal voice throughout. • Conducting a recorded interview (video or audio—whichever you prefer) and steering the discussion so it stays engaging yet respectful. • Transcribing, structuring, and writing the final article in a style that fits mainstream news-magazine standards—tight lead, coherent narrative arc, verified facts, and smooth transitions. • Supplying any supporting pull quotes or sidebars an editor might request and performing a final accuracy check before submission. Please highlight previous long-form profiles or biographical pieces you have published with reputable outlets, your typical turnaround time for a 1,500–2,000-word feature, and the tools you rely on for transcription or fact-checking. I’m ready to schedule the initial briefing call as soon as we find the right voice.
