Commissioning roundup

Posted on May 21, 2013 by Nick

I’ve recently been commissioned by a number of clients for various pieces of work. First up is copywriting work for one of GGMR’s corporate clients, which is being done under a NDA, so no further details can be shared.

I’ve also been approached by Your Family Tree to write a project to accompany my regular software round-up page for issue 132, and am in discussions with Who Do You Think You Are? Magazine over two potential pieces of work in the next month. Deadlines for both would be some time in June.

I’m currently doing some bits and bits for an upcoming iPad Bookazine for Future, and could be updating one of my older online articles for the Tech Radar website. There’s also the possibility of work for a Windows 8 bookazine in the coming month or so.

All of this work is in addition to my regular commissions, news pieces for the Softwarecrew.com website (see opposite for the most recent to be published) plus online articles for the Advent Computers website as part of my remit as Commissioning Editor.
