Ghostwriter
I am seeking a ghostwriter for the fictional Sofduck and Kachup Kipling food explorers. The content should be updated on a daily or every other day basis, and may be delivered primarily in the form of tweets by the duo. This piece will be a part of the upcoming (launching in the month or two) arts and culture website at uptheegg.com, and we are looking for an excellent writer to grow with us; to produce smart, rich, surprising content.
I look forward to developing the characters of Sofduck and Kachup with the writer/writers, and any broader plot arcs that may underlie the odd food theme. The piece should truly be character driven novel-alternative, and will likely involve responding to readers in character, in the distinct personalities of Sofduck and Kachup.
We are ready to collaborate by producing images to complement the writing. Such images would act as the journal diagrams and illustrations of the explorers.
If you are interested, please send a fitting and brief writing sample/s, and possibly a question or two, and I will look forward to replying and thanking you.

editor egg up
Note: This position may be exceptionally well done by a writer pair, consider the possibility of working with a colleague here.
And as another note, we would need to work out the issue of copyright ownership. As a guiding principal, Egg Up is dedicated to growing the art and craft of our contributors. We will attempt to see fully to our desire for you to succeed and benefit from your work, while keeping the illusion of Sofduck and Kachup strong. Ideas? We will be able to figure something out.

Writer about Conversations that Matter
Have you ever had a conversation that suddenly drops down, and you start telling truths about yourself and about life that you’ve never before known? And your partner(s) shares in just the same way?
We are a non-profit dedicated to such “conversations that matter.” We teach people how to engage at this level, and we provide peer community for people who wish to do so long term. We promote conversations that go to such depths that we open onto the sacred itself.

If interested, please send a few paragraphs describing a conversation like this, preferably one that you yourself have had. We’re looking for someone who knows that of which we speak and who can write of such ineffable moments believably, truthfully and compellingly.
