Full-time amanuensis and personal assistant to a professor and writer of fiction and nonfiction. Requirements: excellent background in English literature, strong knowledge of grammar, sharp eye for accuracy, internet competence, and congenial personality. Send c.v. with complete educational details to proust1871@gmail.com
This is an ideal job for a recent top graduate in English with interests in writing and editorial work. (For your information, Henry James, Joseph Conrad, John Milton, and other immortal writers all employed an amanuensis.)
Geez, dude, don't sell yourself short!
P.S. I suppose the fact that I had to look up "amanuensis" on dictionary.com would probably disqualify me from this position. Dang.

its similar to the pull of the missed connections postings every day at work, even before i check my email...
