Job Opportunities in English/Linguistics
« on: October 28, 2013, 06:54:03 AM »
After a cursory look I couldn't see a thread where something like this would be appropriate, so I'm going out on a limb and creating a new one. I know there are several literary types here, including our resident Expert, who may benefit from opportunities that come up. And, at least in the gaming circles I travel, these opportunities come up quite often.

For example, Fantasy Flight Games is looking for a "Fiction Editor"

As I come across other opportunities, and believe you me I come across them quite often, I'll try to post them here as well just in case anyone's looking for either freelance or full-time work.

And I'm currently putting together plans for writing a full RPG on my own, so who knows? I may need to hire one of you guys myself! :)

Good idea, Nighthawk. I'm currently employed, but you never know when something like this will come in handy.
You underestimate my ability to take things seriously!

Oh, I get it Jonathon. You don't want to work double full time, is that it? ;)

After all, you're the only person I know who might be familiar with the Chicago Manual of Style. ;)

Sorry... Of course I assume that there's more than one person 'round here. I just know I'm definitely not one of them. :p
