What I need done:
I need a set of articles relating to online dating that I can keep as a 'library' on a dating site.
Initially I want to start with 10 articles, and build from there, for
suggested titles see below, feel free to use these or suggest others for the initial 10. (Eventually looking for over 100)
1) 20 First Date Questions - A guide to conversation on the first date
2) Questions to avoid on a first date
3) Clothes to wear on a first date
4) Casual dating - Should you split the bill while dating?
5) Ideas for dating - Where to go on a first date
6) How to ditch a date
7) Can your female friends find dating partners for you?
8) How to write a good profile and choose your pictures wisely
9) Being safe when meeting people from online dating
10) Flirting Tips - Tips to flirt effectively
They should each be approximately 350-500 words in length. I expect to be able to revise the articles 1-2 times if necessary.
For examples of the type of articles please see :

Other context/requirements that providers will need to know:
The target audience is based in London, UK so any articles that are skewed to include London references are a definite bonus.
The people using the site will be 'trendy' 18-35 Londoners so keep references recent, witty if possible and youth orientated.
The articles may be used both for an email newsletter as well as on the website.
Specific expertise that I am seeking:
Pre-published writers only, preferably on the subject of dating and relationships. You MUST have at least tried a dating site previously and therefore experienced the process. If you have examples of similar articles that you've written please send link.
Timeframe for delivery:
The site is in final stages of programming, so whilst I can be flexible on time ideally I would like these first articles by 1st May 08.
Fees
Please bid per package of 10, budget for small start-up is very tight
but flexible for great writing, especially if London focused. To keep cost low, the content does not have to be exclusive to my site you may sell on if you wish.
Other Info:
I am open to pre-published content, as long as there are NO copyright issues and you were the original writer.
Hi,
I have been on dating sites, and am always advising friends about the pros and cons of such methods. Have experience in writing poetry and articles. Can provide the same if chosen.
Thanks
