Job Description

Hello, and thanks for reading the job post.

?Are you a writer with experience writing content for teens? Perhaps you’ve written blogs and are looking for a new challenge. Can you distill complicated topics about essential skills that kids should know into simple and easy-to-follow paragraphs?

?If so, we want to hear from you.

?We are a small but growing self-publishing team with a number of successful non-fiction self-help skills-based books in the teen and young adult niches. We are looking for a ghostwriter to join the team to help us build out our portfolio of books. Topics being covered include Online & Digital Skills, Health & Nutrition Skills, Practical Skills, Social Skills, Navigating Puberty, to name a few. Whilst these are serious topics, with your help, we want to make them interesting, fun, and interactive.

?Ideally, you’ll already have some ghostwriting experience writing for a younger audience.

?A little about you and your skills. To be successful, you should ideally possess the following:

?- Have experience in writing 20,000 words in a ghostwriting capacity (writing for teens or young adults is a definite advantage)

?- Be completely fluent in English and have excellent grammar and spelling

– Be incredible at researching, using prompts on ChatGPT or other AI tools to find great information – but ensuring that all your writing is 100% non-plagiarized, NON AI copy.

?- Be a quick learner, who can watch videos or read instructions and understand the scope of work.

– Be up to date on Teen / Young Adult stuff (devices, safety, social media etc.)

– Be able to include detailed instructions for an illustrator to design graphics, infographics, etc., to bring your written copy to life and make it easy to understand

?- Be a quick writer, and be able to work independently

?- Be an excellent communicator. You must be able to speak and be contactable throughout the project (via WhatsApp, during part of the day UK-time).

– Be comfortable working with Google Docs, Asana.

?If you tick the boxes above, we would love to hear from you.

Note: This is initially a part-time job, where most likely we would collaborate on one project to see how we fit. Thereafter, if everything goes well I’d be happy to consider making this a full-time position.

?Please apply here with examples of your work, and how you tick the boxes above

?Thanks, and I can’t wait to hear from you!!!?
