The British Museum is looking for freelance writers for the Timelines
website project. Subject background in the area is preferable, but not
essential. More important is experience of writing accessible content on
historical/cultural subjects for a general, non-specialist audience.
The content that needs writing are 200-word articles on various subjects,
together with 50-word pieces on related objects from the British Museum and
partner museum collections.
Areas that we need to cover are:
Palaeolithic: British Isles, Europe, Asia
Mesolithic: Europe, Asia
Neolithic to Roman: France and the Low Countries, Iberian Peninsula
Neolithic period: Italy, SE Europe and the Aegean
all periods to present day: Africa: Central, West, South and North
(excluding ancient Egypt)
If you are interested, please e-mail me a CV, a short covering note and
example of written work.
Please copy to any relevant list or individual who might be interested.
Many thanks,
Matthew Cock
