Skills

• Required is a passion and skill in writing. The greater challenge for some will be writing on a third grade level. We do have editing teams in place, so writing skills are not as significantly as important as your creative thinking. We seek great storytellers. It is amazing to watch creative polished to become something amazingly perfect. If you are not creative, but know the writing rules, consider serving on our editing team. All should know in advance that there are forms to be signed prior to being accepted on the writing or the editing teams, and all work, even your own is subject to editing.
