Our founder has a wholesale background (formerly at Stack's Bowers) and reviews everything for accuracy, but we'd like to work with a writer who genuinely knows numismatics to help us produce more.

I'm NOT trying to advertise here — I'm asking for direction. A few questions for people who know this world better than I do:

  1. Is the Numismatic Literary Guild the right place to find working numismatic writers, or is it more of an awards organization?
  2. Are there writers here or at publications like CoinWeek who take on freelance educational work for dealers?
  3. Any other places you'd look for someone who can write accurately about coins for a non-collector audience?

Happy to hear "you're looking in the wrong place" if that's the honest answer. Thanks — this community's knowledge is exactly why I asked here.**
