Music Writers Required

Chorus and Verse are looking for freelance writers who can get artist interviews. Ideally, they want people to do at least one article a month and articles are assigned or you can propose an idea for an interview to the editor.

They are looking for interviews which are between 750-1.250 words and writers must arrange to provide two or more pictures to go with the articles.

This might be better suited for writers in the United States because they pay by cheque which can cost £6.00 to convert in the UK and they don't seem to offer a Pay Pal option.

Rates of Pay

$20 for local bands/musicians

$30 regional, established/touring bands

$50 for national bands and musicians.

Bloggers are also wanted but this is unpaid. If you like the idea of writing a music blog for them then they are looking for album reviews,concert reviews and opinions.
