Writer recommendations
I've been tasked with recommending some great feature(?) writers/interviewers/story tellers, to include in a brief for a company 'people book' project (London HQ).
Can anyone point me in the right direction re. industry sites I should be looking at, and what 'style' writer I should be looking for?

Secondly, is it that you're looking for writers to create a features piece/pieces about inspirational people/employees, or are you looking to cover inspirational people who are writers? If the former, which I suspect, it sounds like you're attempting a cross between a corporate brochure or marketing pamphlet and a This American Life podcast.; a tricky balance to strike!
Also, I love the keywords of the company -- 'freedom' & 'confidence.' At your next meeting, suggest some others - 'profit' or 'bottom line' or just plain old 'corporate b/s'! :D
Joking aside, I could probably turn my hand to this so shout if you're really stuck and need the 'mood' profile pieces you appear to be seeking. Best of luck! - Contact in PM

I have since short listed some writers who looked appropriate based on their prior work so all good but thank you for your input.
