Looking for Writer for Project on Malibu History, Culture, and Coastal Environment

We are the California State Park Concessionaire of the famous Malibu Pier in Malibu, California. This summer we are introducing 45-minute sightseeing boat tours from the Malibu Pier. We are looking for a writer to develop written materials to be used by the tour guides on our boats.

We want our tour guides to present engaging and fun information about:

The history of Malibu and the Malibu Pier.
Malibu’s Surfrider Beach role in the birth and popularization of California surf culture.
The sights that passengers will see during boat tours, including the Malibu Colony, Santa Monica Mountains, Adamson House, Billionaire’s Beach, Nobu Restaurant, etc.
The marine life of the Malibu coast which includes dolphins, whales, seals, sharks, sea birds, kelp, etc.

We are not looking for the writer to produce a rigid script but rather modular chapters focusing on bite-sized topics which tour guides can familiarize themselves with and then pick and choose to present depending on the interests of the passengers and what is visible on a particular boat trip. We expect tour guides to present the material in their own words rather than read from a script. We would also like the writer to suggest supporting images and other props that could be passed around to passengers on the boat such as, for example, photos of historical Malibu figures or models of marine mammals.

The ideal candidate will be able to visit Malibu to familiarize themselves with the boat tour experience.

We would like the project to be completed by August 15th or sooner.

Compensation based on skill and experience.
