I publish a digital newsletter aimed at helping students see history as a living, relevant story rather than a dry set of dates. I’m looking for a writer who can craft concise, engaging essays that slot smoothly into the newsletter’s existing format. Each piece should run roughly 700-900 words, feel conversational, and spark curiosity enough that readers will want to discuss it in class or dig deeper on their own. You’re free to draw from any era—ancient, medieval, or modern—so long as the topic feels fresh and approachable for a student audience. I encourage highlighting overlooked figures, surprising turning points, or thought-provoking “what if” scenarios, but solid research and clear explanations always come first. Citations can be informal (links or footnotes are fine); what matters is accuracy and readability. Deliverables • 4 standalone essays ready for publication, each with a snappy headline and a 1-sentence teaser • Brief source list for each essay (primary or secondary) • A suggested discussion question that teachers could lift straight into the classroom Once I receive the drafts, I’ll review for tone, clarity, and factual accuracy. If any tweaks are needed, I’ll send concise notes so revisions stay swift and focused.
