Writers-Researchers Wanted

Posting this for a friend, who is in need of writers, and is willing to pay for the articles written.

Kaisa Para Sa Kaunlaran is currently undertaking a project with the Singapore Chinese Heritage Center to prepare biographies of 150 Tsinoys who had impact/influence from the 20th to 21st centuries. the country editor is Teresita Ang See.

Each entry is 1,500 to 2000 words. (approx 3-3.5 pages single spaced)

Information below to be filled up for each biography (this info is not counted in the word limit).

Birthplace
Place of death / burial
Birthday
Date of death
Citizenship
Title and honours conferred
Educational background
Organizational affiliation(s)
The people to be researched on and written about are divided according to degree of difficulty with research e.g. Lucio Tan is easy category. The fees are according to easy (P1750), medium (P2200-P2500) difficult (P3000-P3500). For the Philippine entries, we arranged with Singapore that we could put in "families" -- those whose members have a great impact on Philippine society (see Sycip entry). "FAMILY" entries get a higher rate.

Also needed are their origins in China -- the village where the migrant came from. most of the people being featured are second generation pa lang so it's their fathers who migrated from China to the Philippines. Just saying Fujian, China is not enough because 90% of Tsinoys come from Fujian. We need the village -equivalent to the barangay :-) Of course, Kaisa Para Sa Kaunlaran will help as best as it can e.g. setting up appointments, providing all the information it's library has on the subject.
