[full-time] Creative and Technical Writers (Calgary) at Jobs in Calgary

2011-12-13 23:37:46

Location: Calgary
Description:

Chief Editor and Lead Author is developing a creative team based on abilities and background to focus on and contribute to several different books (both fictional and non-fictional) projects. Looking for creative individuals (WRITERS WOULD BE GREAT) but can also consider individuals from all walks of life that are able to hatch new thoughts, see ‘things’ differently, recognize opportunity and build on others ideas to help create original products in the field of publishing. This is our Creative Clearing House concept. What kind of books do you read or write? Tell us.

Send return email with background, projects worked on, projects you wish to work on, your aspirations giving a sense of who you are, what you have done, your particular talents (abstract thinking, practical common sense thinking, operations etc) and where you have been in life (previous residences, dreams of the future) and how you think that you are going to get there. If you like music, tell us what kind of music you listen to – do you compose? Give us a sense of where you come from and who you are. Experienced thinkers only need apply.

We realize that this is a different type of ad than you will normally see, but we are very serious, creative business people that like to work on different projects and are presently searching for a wide variety of interesting individuals with whom we can further develop these projects in 2012. We look to publish in both hard copy and digital. We are developers, composers and writers.

If it looks like there may be a fit, we will contact you by return to discuss possible collaboration on future projects if they so interest you. Tell your friends about our creative team building efforts. We want to have fun and make some money. If you know someone that can write Apps for Blackberry, iPhone or Android please let us know.

Thank you.
Bryant
