Help wanted from the National Writers Union:
Employers can post offsite freelance technical writing positions to
our Hotline for no charge. There is a nominal fee of $65 to list a staff
position for one month. Over 1500 Hotline users, most of whom are technical
writers, view our postings. If you look at our web site, you will see
that we only showcase a few jobs at a time. National Writers Union members
would contact the employer directly about a position they want to pursue.
The employer negotiates and contracts directly with the writers because
the Hotline is not involved in the agreement.
We update the Hotline weekly and writers check the listings daily. To
submit a job, employers use the job listing form on our web site: www.nwu.org/hotline
