Job Description
We are looking for an author or novelist who’s interested in helping authors write better stories using Sudowrite.

2. Investigate and verify root causes (why is this happening, how do we fix it?)
3. Suggest workarounds and improvements to prevent problems from happening
4. … and do it all with humor and a sense of play. (Life is too short not to have some fun.)
We don’t expect you to be able to perform all of these right away, but we are looking for someone eager to grow to be able to do all of these and more.
