I'm a higher-education Web publisher and I'm about to launch a site for older students (27-54 years of age) who are thinking about returning to college (or going for the first time).
I'm new here and I'll need about 400 articles over the course of a year (personal essays from older students, college survival tips, job tips and other college tips - conversational style & humor is a plus).
I've already written 100 articles myself. I bought a few articles so far, but it can be challenging to find articles that are specific to my audience. One of the problems I'm having is acquiring age-neutral articles. I've sent out two author's requests so far for minor edits to articles they've written that only have usage rights. Common problem phrases include things like "high school students" or "young." Other than that, I would have purchased the articles outright, although I am still eagerly waiting to hear from those authors.
Many of my potential visitors have graduated high school over 10 to 15 years ago, so even a casual reference to high school or "young students" might not resonate with them.
I'm just letting you know that I'm on the block and perhaps when you're writing that next higher-education article, ask yourself, 'Do I need to make references to age or can this article be age-neutral?'
Thanks for reading!
