Hello, Mr. Miller. I tried to send the requested items to contractwriters@faithlife.com & it bounced. Any advice?
Love in Christ,
Keith

Hey Keith,
Not sure why it bounced. Sorry about that. Would you try once more? In the meantime, I'll look into it on my end and give you an update. Thanks for your patience.
I received the same reply. "address is restricted"
Yes, after retrying it still says, "restricted." I'll await further instruction. -Keith
Ok, I'll get this resolved and post back here once it is fixed. Again, thanks for your patience.
Is this a relocation thing or write from home?
Presumably its a cost cutting thing: Logos gets its users to write its documentation for peanuts instead of paying someone properly to do it. Works the same way with translating their software. But hey, like the rental model of providing software, everybody else is doing it, so why not Faithlife?
My guess they're not going to ask you to relocate...

Many hands make work light. Think of how fast some things can get done if they can outsource some of their work. I am taking it for granted that the reason why they want resumes and samples to make sure that the individual can perform to their standard. Shoddy workers can simply be discontinued. https://blog.logos.com/?s=fire+someone+today [;)]

Note to self: snarkiness gets you nowhere in life.
If you are interested, go ahead and submit your resume and writing samples to contractwriters@faithlife.com.
OK, the email is now up and running!
Please follow these guidelines in your submission:
From my perspective this has several advantages:

But hey, like the rental model of providing software, everybody else is doing it, so why not Faithlife? From my perspective this has several advantages: It allows the copy to be written by someone interested in the material - with as wide of range of offerings as Faithlife has, they can't realistically be expected to have that range in their employees My experience with Logos is that their in kind compensation is generous so this provides an avenue for some who cannot afford their "ideal library" to build it up through their own labor. There is some additional tagging that would prove very helpful to me, that I would like to see completed in a similar select few working from home model ... so I'm hoping this works out for them.
Is this open to all users? Are non-resident non-US citizens eligible?
pretty much ... but I suspect if your sample writing is in Sogdian you're unlikely to be hired.[;)]
I have been wondering the same thing.
My best writing is published, but nothing under 1000 words. You really want two fragments?
Also, you want resumé? Or is a CV also acceptable?

Hey Ben,
Great questions! I requested small chunks of writing because I need to see that applicants have command of written English and can describe ideas with brevity.
Feel free to send along both your resume and CV. I prefer to see a resume because it provides me with a more complete picture of the applicant than does a CV.

Matthew I will have mine to you this weekend. Thanks for the opportunity!
Yes, the Write for Credit Program is open to non-United States residents.
Can you give more information about what those who are hired would be writing. When you say product pages, I envision the page I see when I click on a product link in the Logos store. Are these the ones you are speaking of? Or do you mean some of the product blogs and special pages such as product guides?
It keeps rejecting my email for some reason. Thoughts?

Yes the server keeps rejecting it thought. Says "Can't be delivered"
David, Would you mind trying sending it to me through an alternative email address? I have confirmed that the email address is working.

I submitted a writing sample as well (Baker, Ken). Thanks for the consideration!
Anyone get accepted for this?
I was followed up and offered the opportunity to participate, but am still awaiting further details.
