Why Work With FabJob
As a FabJob guide writer, you will join our team of award-winning best-selling authors. If you are hired to write a FabJob guide, we will provide you with a template and you will add career-specific content based on your own experiences, research, and recommendations from other industry experts. For example, if the guide includes a chapter on starting a business, the template will provide information about how to write a business plan, and you will write a sample plan for that particular type of business. Assignments may involve researching and writing an entire guide (adding a minimum of 15,000 or 20,000 words to the template), or researching and writing part of a guide. Payment is on a flat fee (non-royalty) basis. Assignments pay $1,500 to $2,000 U.S., depending on length, for writing a complete FabJob guide. For shorter assignments fees typically range from $150 to $500. Payment is on acceptance (within a couple of weeks of submission). We also publish writers' bios in the guide, and provide a copy of the e-book as well as the print book when it is published. Writing Opportunities FabJob has several templates for different types of careers, and the amount of content that must be added varies according to the type of career/template. While some FabJob guides can be written by professional writers with excellent research skills, other guides must be written by subject experts. That's because we have found that, with some topics, if a writer is not already familiar with the subject matter, an overwhelming amount of work is required to learn enough about the subject to write a FabJob guide explaining how to do the job. Opportunities for Experts We are currently seeking individuals who are experts in the following areas to write FabJob guides for both e-book and print publication:
Please note that other advertised FabJob guide projects have been assigned to writers.These guides will be assigned to individuals who are experts in the careers, i.e. people who have at least 10,000 hours or a decade of hands-on experience in the career, and have achieved a high level of success (e.g. have won awards for their work, have celebrity clients, or have been featured in national media publicity). However, we will also consider assigning a guide to a nationally published professional writer who has written extensively about the particular field and has expert contacts in the industry (not just friends or family members who work in the career). Other Opportunities Although we are currently seeking applications from experts in the fields listed above, in 2010 we expect to have other guide assignments for professional writers. (These are not entry-level positions.) If you can write in-depth about a variety of topics, you may apply now for future consideration. In addition to submitting publication-ready manuscripts by the agreed upon deadlines, the writers we hire have:
If you are an expert or professional writer who is willing and able to research and write FabJob guides according to our template, for the pay noted above, please use the form at the bottom of this page to submit an application. If you are an expert, please specify the particular guide, from among those listed above, that you are applying to write and provide details (several hundred words) about your qualifications as an expert in that specific subject area. If you are an expert in more than one of the careers listed above, submit separate applications for each. If you are a generalist who can write on a variety of topics, your application will be considered in 2010. Please indicate in your application if there are particular topics you have expertise in, which fit with the FabJob product line but which we have not yet published. For example, do you have experience working in a bakery, starting a cleaning service, or any other type of retail or service business? (Please note that we are not seeking a guide on how to become a Freelance Writer as we already have a guide on that topic in development.) We appreciate all applications, and will provide further details about assignments to writers we are interested in working with. The Virtual Assistant position has been filled. We received over 500 applications and are unable to accept any more virtual assistant applications at this time.Although we have no other current job openings, we expect to add to our team in 2010, so we encourage you to submit an application using the form at the bottom of this page if you have experience and skills that will help us sell more FabJob guides to more people. We think it's pretty clear what our company is all about, but we've learned we have to come right out and say: FabJob does not hire for the careers we publish guides about. For those who have figured out that we're book publishers and not an employment agency, you may be interested to know that the 20 jobs we don't hire for which we have received the most applications for are (listed alphabetically): actor, cartoonist, celebrity assistant, children's book author, cruise ship worker, event planner, fashion designer, flight attendant, interior decorator, massage therapist, model, motivational speaker, mystery shopper, personal shopper, recording artist, songwriter, travel writer, TV reporter, video game designer, wedding planner. For anyone still hoping we'll hire them for any of the jobs listed in the previous paragraph, sorry, but we cannot read or respond to applications for any of those jobs. If you want one of these jobs order a FabJob guide to learn how to break into the career of your dreams. How to Apply to FabJob To increase your chance of success, please read the following important information. Although we usually receive hundreds of applications for every available position, if you follow the dos and don'ts below you will already be ahead of 90% of applicants. Dos
