Don't overlook the world of blogs.

Someone who is already accustomed to writing on a near-daily basis should already be primed and ready for a project just for you. You can easily review their level of knowledge of the subject matter as well as their mechanical ability to write properly.

Sometimes the offer of a link to their blog is sufficient payment since many people blog ... no, *most* people blog simply because they like seeing their words and thoughts in print where there is a potential viewing audience. Ask them to blog about the article in return to drive their readers, who are already interested in both the subject matter and the author, to your site.
