Quizbowl Question Writers

Avery Enterprises is looking for elementary and/or middle-school teachers (past or present) to write quizbowl questions for students at those levels.

Please e-mail a brief resume listing your general teaching experience at those levels (and quizbowl experience, if any) to bda@averyenterprises.net by December 3.

Those who make the first cut will receive some sample questions and be asked to write 3 in a similar vein. Based on that, we will probably hire 2-4 people. Once you get up to speed, you should be able to make $18-20 per hour and work 6-15 hours per month most months of the year (so it's not a full-time gig).

For more info about what we do, visit our website http://www.averyenterprises.net/

Happy Writing and Happy Thanksgiving too

After a long day and checking several sites, I apologize for very little in the lead department today.

• Several leads were dated yesterday or Monday... so with further ado here is all I got for ya.....

Happy Thanksgiving....I am grateful to part of those who love to write and those who want to write for a living.

Have a wonderful holiday and look for better leads after turkey day.

Blessings to all

Coming Up

Hello all! I am excited to say that I have some folks who are ready to post on this blog regularly for you and for me for a few months. Look for their posts and introductions this week.

I've prepared a post for tomorrow morning and it's got quite a bit in it. Remember that as we get into the swing of posting every day, the leads will be short and sometimes nonexistent.

You've all been so supportive and helpful through the life of this blog that I am sure you will help the new posters tweak things until we've got it where it helps us all.

Excited!
Laura
