We are looking for –
- A writing style, the success of which is measured by readers’ eagerness to read the content
- Some knowledge of (and some passion for) German family history and culture
- An understanding of the needs, questions, confusions, and expectations of a membership that is highly diverse in its knowledge of and familiarity with German genealogy
- A firm understanding that potential readers, many of whom might prefer to be watching TV or lying on the beach, need to be courted, sometimes strenuously, before they will read a specialized quarterly journal
- The writer’s ability to use a computer
- A journalistically fine presentation of material that is out of step with the interests and needs of our members
- Case studies“Folksy” stories
- Writers who yearn to be published more than they yearn to be read
- The pay is negotiable. It would increase to the degree that readers respect and admire the product
- We would hope for an eventual outcome whereby the writer would enter into a contract, the compensation for which would be determined for a specific time period
- Well-read material earns higher dollars.
