It's understandable that quite a few members would like to become freelance writers. Could you clarify a few points?
1. The stated qualifications for the post of freelance writer include "the ability to meet deadlines". Does this mean that freelance writers will be assigned topics that they must complete within a deadline?
2. Do they have the option to write only articles at their leisure on topics of their choice, subject of course to editorial approval if they are to be published?
3. If a submitted article is not accepted for publication (i.e., if it is rejected or payment is not given within a reasonable time frame), does the writer have the right to use it for other purposes?
