Sources of Work

I have written for a huge variety of markets, including those listed below. I can provide you with valuable contact details for many companies requiring educational writers.

Textbooks, 'home learning' and teaching notes

If you can write to a tight brief with little variation, this type of writing can be very lucrative. Successful writers of this type of material are usually current or former teachers. It stands to reason:  you need a thorough knowledge of the education system, and in the UK you need to be up to date with the National Curriculum.

Information packs
 

Charities and many other organisations often commission educational writers to create education packs to their brief. This can be fun if you have a particular interest in the subject.  It is often worth sending samples of your work and ideas for projects to these organisations. Even if they have no work on offer, they will often store your details for later contact.
