Firstly, I had a great time in Chiang Mai – I will write a post and publish the pics as soon as I have the time. With only 2 days until we launch the Mag, it’s been full steam ahead at the noodleplex :)
It’s been a crazy week, most of us have been staying until 8pm – lot’s of problems keep popping up :(
We have added around 30 or so articles onto the mag and I now desperately need someone who has a really good grasp of writing/publishing content to run their eyes over the articles to a) touch up the odd pieces of text, spelling and that sort of thing and b) offer their opinions and suggestions on how we could improve the articles. If you are interested or if you know of anyone that can help, please get in touch. I’ll happily make your time worth your while and if your in Bangkok, you are welcome to visit our office on Friday to share the champagne :)
Well I don’t recommend you use a guy who applied for a similar job with us yesterday. His tagline read …
“excelent (sic) English” :o)
Good luck with your searching.
That’s on of the reasons we have stopped looking for writers from around the web – Most over promise and under deliver :(
Chris,
You’re now running into the problem faced by so many English publishers in Thailand. It’s not easy to find non-native staff with an excellent grap of both written and spoken English. Those that have it are in great demand. We’re looking for two suitable people right now for a Government project we’re working on and it’s incredibly difficult.
I’d love to offer to help but I think this is probably more than just a five or ten minute job, right?
Andrew.
Andrew, you are right in indeed. I think the only way forward is to take an expat on board with a really good expat salary…
Thanks for the offer, but yes it will take around a day! I will be cheeky and ask for 5 minutes of your time tomorrow if you are around to go over the mag very briefly before I click the launch button (i.e – upload banners promoting the Mag on 200 or so sites) :D
Chris – shoot. I will help in any way I can.
