Wanted: Creative Writers from Malaysia ONLY
I'm looking for fresh writers FROM MALAYSIA who can write on some Malaysian small towns (and some big cities too). Need the writing to be experiential (using I), creative, with vivid images. Your texts need to re-create those places in the reader's mind.

Places to be covered:

Conditions (bid only if you agree to comply):
1. Be Malaysian
2. Have an excellent knowledge of the place you write about, have stories to tell about those places.
3. All rights belong to the buyer. You can't re-sell or re-use your text after submission.
4. Texts must be at least 1000-word long. No maximum.
5. Have an excellent level of English and excelllent writing skills.
6. You don't have to write on all those places; Choose only places that inspire you.

I'll pay a maximum of 30$ for 5000 words (ex. 5 articles of 1000 words or 2 x 2500 words stories, or 1 x 1000 words, 2 x 2000 words....as you feel inspired). So, do not bid more!

Beginners welcome.

Please send a sample of your work, ideally a travel-writing piece.
