Are you an experienced freelance writer? Have you a nose for breaking stories in Manchester and the North West?
Date Published: 25/11/2009
Manchester Confidential is changing.
We want writers.
This is what we currently offer on Manchester Confidential.
Let's take mid-September to mid-October this year. We had: 33 Food and Drink stories, 30 News and Comment stories, 30 Health, Beauty and Shop stories (Body Confidential), 19 Art, Architecture and Culture stories, 12 Property stories (Property Confidential), 10 Entertainment stories, 7 Events and Listings stories, 5 Satirical stories and 5 Sports stories.
That’s a total of 151 stories plus 35 competitions and offers. Everything from winning free office space and Wii's to United tickets and, of course, the best in food and drink offers.
That's 186 separate features.
But we want to be even better than this.
So we’re becoming a membership site - not a subscription site. We’re going to blow members away with extraordinary offers, great events and lots of surprises.
BUT there will be free to read access on nearly all the stories for all those who care about Manchester and the region. This way we’ll build readership and gain more members.
At the same time we want to be the automatic choice for Manchester when it comes to exciting media.

A media owned by Mancunians and run by Mancunians.
So we want to break news, break stories, set the agenda.
To do that end we need experienced, exciting news and feature writers, and we want a breaking news story every week.
Politics. Transport. Crime. Health. Entertainment. Culture. Business. Property. Food. Drink. Fashion. Sport.
We want writers to pitch the editor a story and deliver a well researched, balanced article that’s also incisive, ballsy and full of Confidential character.
Proper journalism in other words.
We’ll pay more than the freelance rates for features in all other regional magazines and newspapers. We want the best.
If you have any ideas pitch Jonathan Schofield, the Editor of Manchester Confidential, on jonathans@planetconfidential.co.uk
