Are you a great writer?

Do you love the Science Fiction/Fantasy genre?

Do you want to get paid to write?

If you answered yes to all the above, then you might just be the person we are looking for!

Here's what we want:

A dedicated person willing to write long format SF/F stories (typically 30,000 to 120,000 words), based on detailed outlines (typically 5,000 to 15,000 words) which we will provide. In other words, we concieve the story, you write the story!

An excellent command of the english language is pre-requisite, as well as a vibrant imagination and a good helping of creativity.

You will work at your own pace and submit your works within mutually agreed flexible timelines.

For submissions that we accept, our rate varies from NGN0.10 to NGN1.00 per word, depending on the quality of your work and how much editing and rewriting has to be done on your submission (the less time we have to spend editing, the higher the rate we pay out). Based on our experience, our median rate typically falls within NGN0.25 to NGN0.55 per word

While this postion is targetted and students and nysc corp members who are looking for a side gig, anybody can apply.

If you are interested, please send an email to writenigeria@yahoo.com. Your email should contain a brief cover letter, a one-paged CV, and a sample of your work (1,000 to 5,000 words)

We look forward to hearing from you.
