Creative writing job – find it and take it home
To some of you out there, a creative writing job might be the answer to your prayers. The good news is that landing a peach of an assignment could be easier today than ever before. A job that’s interesting and pays well also? Yes, I’m here to tell you they do exist. Are you even aware of the possibilities?
Let’s take a quick look at some of the opportunities on a recent browse through the writing jobs that need to be filled on eLance. The first one to catch my eye is from a plastic surgeon in Miami, Florida who’s looking for a ghost writer to create a book aimed at the mass-market audience. He’ll pay $5,000 to $10,000 for the project.
Bet you could get creative with that topic.
Here’s another. This one is within the same budget but is looking for someone to ghost/assist in writing a novel about an ancient Egyptian boy who grows up in poverty on his father’s farm but ends up as a pharaoh. Once again, this one is begging for a strong dose of creativity.
Blogging is a word we hear a lot these days. I can personally vouch for the creativity associated with this line of work. My first online writing job consisted of writing three daily blogs related to current events in Philadelphia. I live in Missouri and was reviewing restaurants I’ve never even seen! Talk about needing to be creative.
The gist of the point here is that creative writing jobs might be easier to find these days than ever before. Unless your last name was Hemingway or King, writing creatively for a living was a secret club that almost no one was allowed to join. With the internet, things are different. I’d suggest you give it whirl. Investigate a couple of writing job websites tonight. You might find something that changes your life.
