Presently I am editing a newspaper in Jakarta but I would really like to work in Taiwan doing the same type of thing. Any advice, please?

Be prepared to work long hours for short pay. Teachers earn just as much and work half the time. But if you really love the work, there's plenty of it.

Check out the Forumosa.com site and look in the gereral employment area. I could be wrong about some of the other editing opportunities, such as private ESL institutes, publishing houses and corporate work, but they expect a lot for a little.

I made several inquiries into editing and writing and was discouraged very quickly. Rolling Eyes

I concur with Wonder's very insightful assessment above.
Since you really love writing and I assume you do, I might suggest that you work as a teacher part time and write as you feel the need. You will make just as much money as a full time writer /editor and have the freedom to write what you want.
At any rate here are some leeds,
Add in the local paper.

I agree with this. You'll make more teaching, no doubt about it. A good teacher easily makes more than an editor, writer, etc. Teach first--use it as your base to search for other opportunities. If you do the opposite, you'll end up in the poorhouse.
