Hello,
My name is Jack Maclean and I am a 20 year old student (political science) looking to supplement my studies and CV with real writing experience.
I have previously undertaken a work placement at my local newspaper. My duties there involved everything from assisting reporters to gathering scores and results from local sports clubs to filing a match report for a national reserve league football match. I have also been selected as a reviewer for Three Weeks, a publication that runs throughout the Edinburgh International Festival.
I am an avid viewer of sports, be it ice hockey, ski-jump, football, rugby, motorsport, downhill skiing, NFL - I'm a fan a sport. Being first and foremost a fan, I have strong opinions of my own and am not afraid to think or say something controversial if I think it is right. (though not to the point of alienating an entire readership!) Specifically, it is motorsport, ice hockey and football (mostly European) that I gravitate to most and have the strongest opinions on.
I am more than happy to spend several hours a dedicated to providing well written and researched articles for you for a competitive rate, however at this moment I'm more concerned in finding an outlet for my writing and your project presents me with the best opportunity to do that.
I hope that you seriously consider my application,
Jack Maclean
