OK, but please be advised that I will require a signed letter of agreement, with the following terms (and perhaps more), that you have read my sample articles and are happy with my overall writing style and presentation. That you understand that I work with the facts you provide me, so you will need to check them for accuracy. That the finished article will be 500-1,500 words in length and that I can’t predict exact word-count in advance. And that I am able to edit the article after online publication but only to make minor corrections and any significant rewrites will be at an additional $50. per hour and paid in advance. The donated is toward my time only.
