Hi, I’m San. Question: Why choose me as one of your quiz masters? Answer: I bring years of relevant experience to the table and it would delight me to be involved.
My background is that I’m a trained professional journalist, writer and editor. (I'm not a fan of the Oxford comma but understand its use.) I have spent close to three decades working with national newspapers and magazines, book publishers and large government departments (tax and primary industries) in Australia. During this time, I was variously responsible for news gathering, article writing (web and print), editing, marketing and promotions, corporate communications, content management, commissioning articles (and books), managing teams, training team members, and mentoring non-professional writers.
I am a native English speaker and can work in US or UK English.
As a result of my broad experience, I am comfortable writing on almost any subject. I have occasionally written quiz pages for (women’s) magazines. While I never thought I would cite these activities, I regularly develop children's treasure hunts, have written Trivia nights and love crosswords. More seriously, I have worked on numerous surveys and questionnaires where expressing the question accurately but understandably is important.
I have worked in four CMSs. With luck, I should be able to master a fifth.
I can commit to 20 hours per month initially and, if we are both happy, would be prepared to consider more.
Please, let's talk!
