FabJob -- the leading publisher of information about dream careers -- is looking to fill the following positions. 

Career Guide Writer
Book Designer
Editorial Interns
Other Positions

Imagine having a rewarding and interesting job as a writer of FabJob guides.

This year we plan to publish dozens of new FabJob guides and are looking for another skilled writer for our team. If you become a FabJob guide writer, we will provide you with a template for our guides and you will add career-specific content based on research and recommendations from 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 (among other advice on starting a business), and you will write a sample business plan for that particular type of business. 

Payment is on a flat fee (non-royalty) basis. Assignments pay $1,200 U.S. for writing 15,000 words or $1,600 U.S. for writing 20,000 words. Payment is on acceptance (normally within a couple of weeks of submission). Using our template, you should be able to easily complete one guide per month part-time. 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.

In addition to submitting publication-ready manuscripts by the agreed upon deadlines, the writers we hire have:

• Exceptional research skills
• An engaging writing style
• Respect for copyright
• Experience writing "how to" information (ideally a published author of For Dummies or similar books)

We appreciate all applications, and will provide further details about assignments to writers we are interested in working with.

If you already have a finished manuscript and would like to distribute it through FabJob, please visit our writer's page. 

Book Designer

We are seeking someone skilled in using Adobe InDesign to design e-books and books for FabJob.com on a contract basis.

Pay is a flat fee ranging from $125 U.S. for updating an e-book to several hundred dollars or more for designing a complete e-book or book of 175 to 250 pages using our template (fees vary depending on the assignment and length). 

We invite you to apply if you work quickly, have excellent attention to detail, and have experience designing publications (preferably book length). 

Please submit several paragraphs about yourself, using the form at the bottom of this page and let us know if you are available on a part-time or full-time basis. Also let us know if you have experience with selecting photographs (we will provide you with our photo sources) or using Adobe Photoshop. If you have these skills we may be able give you more assignments. 

Your submission will be acknowledged with an automated reply. We will provide further details of assignments to those we are interested in working with.
