Freelance Writer Needed: Memphis Music Studio History
I am looking for a knowledgeable freelance writer to produce an approximately 300-word article about the history of Memphis music studios and the city’s roots in blues, soul, gospel, country, and early rock ’n’ roll.
The article should be divided into three short sections, with one paragraph per section. It should focus entirely on the studios, producers, record labels, and artists who helped shape the Memphis sound. Relevant subjects include W.C. Handy’s influence, Sun Studio and its ties to Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, and Jerry Lee Lewis, Stax Records and Memphis soul, and the work of Hi Records, Royal Studios, Al Green, and producer Willie Mitchell.
Do not include Graceland, Beale Street, music museums, clubs, current live music, or other Memphis attractions. Every sentence should provide useful historical information. Avoid filler, exaggerated descriptions, clichés, and vague statements about the city being “steeped in music.”
The finished article must:
- Be approximately 300 words
- Include three sections and three paragraphs
- Use an eighth-grade reading level
- Match my established tone and writing style
- Be based on credible sources
- Include working hyperlinks to reliable sources
- Avoid Wikipedia and low-quality travel blogs
- Contain original, human-written content only
- Contain no AI-generated, AI-rewritten, or copied material
- Be completed within 24 hours
I will check the article with plagiarism and AI-detection tools. Applicants must be fluent in English and already knowledgeable about Memphis music history. Please do not apply unless you understand the city’s recording studios, record labels, major producers, and influence on several music genres.
This is a ghostwriting assignment. The selected writer must be comfortable completing the work without receiving a public byline.
**Flat fee:
To apply, briefly describe your experience writing about music history and provide one or two relevant writing samples.
