If you’re a freelance writer, reporter or journalist willing to take up an assignment in Saudi Arabia, this post is for you.

At one of the writer read meets I organise as the Dubai Chapter Coordinator of Caferati, a global forum for writers, I met Jim Wilson. Jim’s a seasoned journalist who specialises in writing for the shipping industry. Jim’s currently looking for a writer/reporter who can take up a project in Saudi Arabia.

The requirement is for a specialist international business-to-business magazine. You will need to write a one-off report of up to 10,000 words of copy for a supplement being produced for a company based in Saudi Arabia.

Reasonable expenses will be reimbursed, travel to/from Saudi will be likely - so an awareness of Saudi culture and sensitivities is essential.

Specialist knowledge is not necessary - guidance will be provided - but the person must be an excellent interviewer and writer. A contact person in the UK will be provided.

The deadline for submitting the project will be in November.

This is not a permanent position.

These are essential for the project:

UPDATE - February 28: This position is now closed. If you’ve arrived on this post looking for a freelance copywriting job, you’re most welcome to mail me your CV/credentials or write to me at farrukh.copywriter(at)gmail.com. I’d be happy to recommend you if something mathcing your profile comes up.

Salams,

Thanks to the ‘Law of Abundance’, I contacted Jim and he was prompt with his revert. I’ve also sent you a mail, and hopefully, you’ll find the time to respond.

Neat blog! Ciao.

Hi farrukh…

This is kamran sulaimani from India. I am full time state correspondent with India Today group in western state of India, Gujarat. I have worked with some of India’s most prestigious publications including The Indian Express and The Economic Times.
I am looking for opportunities in UAE.. I don’t know how to go about it. I have submitted my resumes on various websites but unfortunately did not get any reply. Can you please help me with this..?

Hi Kamran,

The competition for journalism jobs is tough here in the UAE for full time positions. Freelance opportunities could be easier to find.

Hello Farrukh,
I came across your site when searching for freelance opportunities for writers. I am Nigerian and I’d like to write on the so called SCAMS being perpertrated by my fellow nigerians in the Global community. I currently am working on a Radio broadcast for Business Leaders in Nigeria. I’d like to know the possibility of us Networking together. I’d prefer to write to build an online reputation and not necessarily for the pay. My career as an Ad executive in Nigeria is rewarding enough but I seek to leapfrog my career and that of my firm in the International community. I’d be anticipating your response. Thanks

Hi Adefolami,

Good to hear from you. It’d be good to hear about what the creatives in Nigeria are up to. What if you made an advocay ad for your nation based on the comment above. Looks like fertile ground to me for the goal you’ve set.
