Hello all!

Am a Singaporean in Singapore. Should I consider that a good piece of news?

I have no idea!

Am a creative writer and professional Stage Manager, looking for avenues to hone my craft in this not-too-art-friendly state.

Looking for opportunities to work and travel! Basically freelance writing and stage managing

Do you feel like a misfit in Singapore too?

Cheers,
Jean

Hi there!

I see that you are in Hong Kong! That should be quite a good place I heard?

What do you do?

Cheers,

Hey George,

Sounds exciting! But I heard one needs connections or contacts to land a job in Shanghai. Sigh...

@beanieyikes I guess your craft is pretty niche, so might be hard.

What kind of writing do you do? I am working on some projects with the creative community here. Maybe we can help each other.

Hi George,

I have done theatre/film reviews, written for a lifestyle website before, can write plays and am working on copywriting.

Trying to diversify my craft!

Hope to learn more from you.

Jean
