FAO FEATURES EDITORS - NOVEMBER 2017 FEATURES BULLETIN

Hello.

Here are some ideas for November 2017 features. Some of them may be in your diary already. Some of them may be added to your diary after reading this. Some features may be written by in-house journalists. But maybe, just maybe, I can write something for you.

Have a good old nosey round the blog to see some of the features in the archives.

Let me know what you want, word count, deadline and fee and I will get to work. (A summary of my published work appears below.)

Here's the November 2017 list and, if I can help, I look forward to hearing from you.  joecushnan@aol.com 

I will add more to the list if and when I come across any interesting ideas.
