FAO FEATURES EDITORS - OCTOBER 2017 FEATURES BULLETIN
Hello.
Here are some ideas for
October 2017 features. Some of them may be in your diary already. Some of them
may be added to your diary after reading this. Some features may be written by
in-house journalists. But maybe, just maybe, I can write something for you.
Have a good old nosey
round the blog to see some of the features in the archives.
Let me know what you
want, word count, deadline and fee and I will get to work. (A summary of my
published work appears below.)
Here's the October 2017
list and, if I can help, I look forward to hearing from you. joecushnan@aol.com
I will add more to the list if and when I come across any interesting ideas.
