Freelance Job of the Day

Murder mystery writer: Looking for Experienced murder mystery writer who can come up with 10 improv scripts for me for corporate murder mysteries. I am the producer of a successful mystery theater company who has been doing improv corporate murder mysteries for the past dozen or so years. During the last 5 years I have had an arrangement with a writer who now is going on his own to compete with me and taking all the scripts that we have been using. I would like to replace these scripts with some of my own. Script also is a strong word here - it is more like an outline with strong CharActors.

Resolve not to use the passive voice. Simply fly in the face of convention and begin your sentences with “I” or “we” or “the writer.”

Quote of the Day

I have learned in my thirty-odd years of serious writing only one sure lesson: stories, like whiskey, must be allowed to mature in the cask.
