I need articles written on the following areas - this isn't a 'search engine keyword' job - I need helpful, informative, interesting articles that are all your own work, in purfict English.

The articles will be aimed at young, unsigned artists so the style can be pretty light & not too formal. I can provide some great links which provide indepth information on each area, but stress that these articles must be original & you may need to do your own research too if you're not familiar with the subject area.

Articles need to contain information relevant to both the UK and the US - but with a heavy emphasis on UK. I can't really give you a 'guide word length' - it's akin to 'how long is a piece of string' - just write what is necessary to get the information across. However, I am hoping to end up with something similar to [url removed, login to view] (that's the major source of research for your articles, too.)

Preference will be given to people who've written music industry articles before and can produce samples - and, as always, financed out of my own pocket so lowest bidder!

Please bid the TOTAL amount for all articles below - however, if there's one article that catches your attention which you're an expert on, and you feel you'd excel at it - send me a PM.
