Employing a manager
I currently find work for my OH who is a prolific writer across many topic areas, she has recently written on, Industrial weights and measures machines, 3D Art, Memory/Brain and French laundry.
I can get her more work than she can actually do. So I was thinking of employing a manager, who can coordinate all of the stages. Pitching - organising the researchers - submitting the articles etc.
Does anyone have any experience of this type of work and can they offer any guidance?
Thanks
Alex

That aside, I don't know of any freelance writers who don't submit their own articles -- that's the sort of thing that, like coordinating a pitch, the freelance writer often likes, and sometimes needs, to be intimately involved in themselves.
Best of luck with whatever you decide!
