Questions about EPublic - Reader Response Needed

A request for information came in via email. I've posted it below. Does anyone have any information for Deb?


Laura,

I've had an offer of work writing educational materials for a company in South Korea! Apparently they saw a book I wrote for a US company and liked it. I have never worked for an overseas company before. Can you query the members of the blog and see if they have? I specifically want to know if I have to pay South Korean taxes as well as U.S. state and federal taxes. If so, then obviously I need to earn a lot of money in order to cover all those taxes!!

The name of the company is EPublic, which is the exclusive ELT books distributor for Oxford University Press. I'd like to know if anyone has worked for them, too, and what their impression was of the company.

Thanks so much for your help!
Deb
