Writers

We require writers to add to our curriculum. Writers will be paid per word and must write to our specifications. Payment will be made via PayPal.

Each applicant must forward contact details and a brief resume. Those that interest us will then be asked to submit a sample piece. If that is accepted, work to be completed will be forwarded via email.

An attention to detail, good grammar and writing skills, patience, ESL teaching experience and a reliable Internet connection are required.

Successful writers will be able to supplement their teaching income, and we feel this opportunity will appeal to native English-speaking teachers living in China, South East Asia and Eastern Europe.
