I am starting to build content for a new home security site. My plan is to repost this project 3-4 times and then pick the best writer for a long-term relation. Candidate for this job MUST - Have PERFECT English. ESL is fine as long as I do not see it :) - Be a technical writer NOT A SEO writer - Provide samples of AWESOME technical writing (not just "good") - Must know or have interest in video surveillance and home security - Have research skills and willing to spend time to research articles. - Must follow this project specification This project is for 1 (one) article. 2000 words. Written for humans. And by that I mean Wikipedia.com-style article, NOT [login to view URL] I expect my articles to be read as "guides" which means - No long introductions - No "filler phrases" like "There’s no doubt about it" - Links and references on research materials and further reading - A lot of technical details "Article for humans" is something that would read yourself and find it useful. Something that you can see published on boingboing, lifehacker and slashdot. I will not be able to explain all aspects of the "article for humans" in one sentence, but I would expect that you as a full-time writer you understand what I am talking about :). If you do not know how to write great non-fiction, here is a reference book. http://www.amazon.com/Writing-Well-30th-Anniversary-Nonfiction/dp/0060891548/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1238100974&sr=8-1 --------------- Article subject: Home video monitoring - my options Imagine that you want to know what is going on at your house when you are away (at work or on vacation).

Greetings! This project was made for me. :) I say this because I worked in the home security industry industry for two years. I worked for Brinks, and then I worked for ADT. I would not say I know everything there is to know about security, but I know enough to cut research time in half. I will be PMing you a sample of writing that I have done. I know how to write for humans! The sample I'll be sending you is a short excerpt from a small report for beginner sales reps, but it should provide a good example of what I'm capable of. Best Wishes: Carmen Rane Hudson
