Zulie Rane is Misleading Writers
Amateur writers should steer clear of this one platform Zulie is promoting…
When I lost my full-time job in 2020, I explored the possibility of taking on writing jobs.
Initially, I thought I had found a job as a writer for a mobile game app, the kind that places you in romantic, choose-your-own adventure scenarios. I sent in my writing sample, signed the contract, and was ready to go.
Or so I thought.
Not too long after my initial onboarding Zoom meeting, I asked about the manner of payment. The initial model was via Paypal, but some time immediately before joining the team, they had changed it to wire transfer (?)
I thought I would receive a simple answer; instead, the two members who were spearheading the team both jumped ship in the span of two weeks, citing lack of faith in the company.
This was a major red flag. Nevertheless, I sent an email to their replacement, insisting I would not write a single word until I knew what was going on. The new individual wrote back, explaining that the company was going through a “transition phase” having just been bought out, and if I wanted to continue to work for them, I would have to sign a brand new contract.
