Guest writers that demonstrate strong writing skills will be invited to write news reports from the autism community, or share their expert knowledge through the How To section.
Responsibilities
Writers will work closely with OAR editorial staff to identify relevant newsletter topics, write articles, and meet deadlines. OAR will approve the newsletter topic, provide copy editing and newsletter guidelines. Writers typically have 1-2 weeks to submit a rough draft article for review.
