My school has offered for me to write some scripts for the listening portion of integrated practice materials.

Basically, they would give me the writing passages and I would write a script for the 'lecture' part. 250-300 words. Based on the writing topic.

I think they want 25 scripts per week from me. They're offering 10,000 won per script.

Additionally, I would need to write listening comprehension questions, around 10 I am told.


I'm fairly new with writing as extra work. So you tell me. Is this a good deal? Would you take it?


Cheers!

If you can hammer out 4 scripts in an hour it's worth considering, otherwise I wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole.

Transcribing is hard work unless you are getting premium money. I find it's mentally and physically exhausting. I think if you are looking for extra work there are better gigs out there.
