English for the Hebrews

I acquired a new client today.

I'm so glad that Israel requires companies to provide generous terms for maternity leave . . . this is my second job covering for a woman who just had a baby . . .

I'll be providing almost all the written content for several children's magazines, at different levels of complexity. The publications are geared to Israeli children and teenagers who are learning English as a foreign language.

So, over the next few months, I'll be looking for amazing trivia facts; fun stories about food, animals, sports, and celebrities; interesting cultural notes about Israel and other countries; short works of fiction (that we can publish for free and without worrying about copyright issues); games and activities; and odd news from around the world. Should be fun.

This is a part-time job, so I'll still be working on other projects. But it feels good to have a large assignment that I can really sink my teeth into.
