Num. of words: 12,000?
Industry: Publishing/Journalism
Topic: Olympic Sports
Tone: Informal/Casual
Outline & Structure: British Olympic Heroes was published in April 2012 in time for the London Olympics, it did well and went into a second edition. The book covers some of Great Britain's Olympic Gold Medal Heroes from 1896 to 2008.

We feel that GB's success at the London Olympics was absolutely incredible and needs to be recognised so we intend to re-publish the book in time for the 2016 Olympics in Rio De Janeiro and include articles of each and every gold medal winner - there were 29 of them!

We are looking for a researcher/writer who can produce these short 300 - 400 word articles and source a suitable photograph of each of the athletes for presentation to the books Editor and Designer at Medina Publishing.

The researcher/writer will also need to establish contact details for each athlete so their permission and approval can be obtained prior to publication.
