Reliable, responsible writers with a strong and professional writing style, a knowledge of correct grammar, spelling, & punctuation and a sense of wry humor are especially needed. Perfect gig for students, unemployed, underemployed, work at home types with flexible schedules. Women and POC are especially encouraged to apply.
