Date: 2010-08-09, 1:34PM PDT Reply to: job-5xqk9-1889607643@craigslist.org [Errors when replying to ads?] A company that specializes in helping individuals with various types of writing - everything from business plans and grant proposals to corporate communications - is looking for talented freelance writers and editors to work with our clients who are applying for college, grad, and professional school positions this fall and winter. You are not required to have any specialized knowledge of the higher education admissions process (we have people on staff who take care of that) but you must be a college graduate and a top-notch writer. Your responsibilities will include correcting spelling, grammar, and word misuse as well as helping to enhance the overall style of completed admission essays. In addition, you may be asked to help chart a course for clients who are off track, offering suggestions about more interesting ways to tell their stories and get their point across. So even though you won't be asked to write entire essays from scratch it is imperative that you understand the fundamentals of how to tell a good story in writing and paint a picture with words. We want more than just proofreaders; we want individuals who understand the craft of writing. This is not a full-time or in-person gig. Our freelancers can work from anywhere, they can work in their pajamas, they can work at two in the morning. But it also won't get you rich. You will be paid small but reasonable chunks of change on a per-assignment basis. Work tends to be sporadic, but those who perform the best also work the most. All assignments are paid in advance and we take pride in fostering a fun, rewarding, team-centered environment for creative, ethical people looking to pocket a little extra cash and help a diverse client base achieve their educational goals. Must be good with deadlines, understand the importance of client and company confidentiality, and (although it hopefully goes without saying) there is absolutely no plagiarism. Please respond with a resume and a writing sample that you feel is representative of your style and abilities - anything from academic and business writing to creative fiction is fine.

Date: 2010-08-09, 3:29PM EDT Reply to: gigs-9zqah-1889458255@craigslist.org [Errors when replying to ads?] I've written, and I am currently in the middle of producing a short film. The movie is a sort of detective story without a real "detective". The protagonist is an inner-city Priest who investigates the disappearance of a young girl in his parish. The film deals with the recent church closings in the area, as well as the recent abuse cases. When I finish the short film I would like to have a feature length (120 page) screenplay ready to show investors. I'm not looking for someone who has experience writing screenplays necessarily. What I am looking for is a writer who writes with flavor, understands characters, structure, drama. A writer with some experience with either short stories, novels, or plays. I have a rough feature length version of the story outlined. I also have a few projects that I am hoping to develop so I am looking for a collaborating partner. I would be open to discussing compensation.
