WritingCrossing Launches with More Than 3,300 Active Writing Job Openings

PR Log (Press Release) – Jun 09, 2008 – Pasadena, CA — On Monday http://www.EmploymentCrossing.com announced the launch of a new and exclusive job board dedicated to offering the best job opportunities for writing professionals. http://www.WritingCrossing aims to consolidate every single writing job opening it can find and put all of the jobs it locates in one place. The site’s more than 500 highly trained research analysts collect writing job openings from virtually every newspaper website, magazine webpage, career site, job board, classified, and publication.

The Internet has revolutionized the demand for writing professionals.  Online publications and services are growing in numbers resulting in an increase in demand for the writing professionals.  More and more businesses have improvised writing departments in their organizations.  Lately, even the top newspapers, magazines, and periodicals have introduced Internet-only content on their websites.

Keeping with the growing demand for writers, EmploymentCrossing (www.employmentcrossing.com) launched WritingCrossing (www.writingcrossing.com) with more than 3,300 active writing job openings. WritingCrossing offers every writing job opening, including technical writing jobs, novelist jobs, playwright jobs, biography writing jobs, screenwriting jobs, scriptwriting jobs, copywriting jobs, freelance writing jobs, and other writing jobs.

According to the US Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment of writers is expected to grow 10% from 2006 to 2016. Employment of salaried writers is expected to increase as demand grows for web-based publications. In 2006, about 306,000 jobs were held by writers and editors.  Most of the writing jobs were created in the information sector, radio and television broadcasting, Internet service providers, and web search portals.

“Despite the looming economy, the job prospects for writing professionals are very bright, especially for the technical writers,” says A. Harrison Barnes, founder and CEO of WritingCrossing.  “In this market it is extremely hard to get a job with a recruiter, and recruiters typically work with very few companies,” adds Barnes. “Job openings that are not widely known or publicized are the easiest jobs to get.”

WritingCrossing aims to consolidate every writing job opening in the nation at one place – even the hidden ones!  According to Barnes, the most popular searches on the site have been:
