• Have published at least one story collection/novel with a traditional publisher
• Have taught creative writing at the university level
• MFA is preferred. Please no applicants with a Ph.D.

NECESSARY SKILLS

• Able to write 5,000 words a week

• Know WordPress

YOUR MISSION

• To write substantial articles on the craft of fiction writing
• Plotting, characterization, dialogue, POV, voice, sentences, etc.

• To provide creative writing advice that is more advanced than most elementary blog posts

TASKS:

• Research competition to find topics
• Research blog posts
• Write substantial and authoritative blog posts on steady basis
• Edit & Proofread content

TO APPLY:

• One-page Resume
• Link to one (1) blog post you’ve written (no need for more than one link)
