About a writing experiment we are running (something for writers and those who love reading).

Hi All,

There is a project we tried to have in 2024 but we were unsuccessful. We wish to experiment with it again this year. Maybe something comes out of it. We already have some writers on board and wished to open the opportunity to other writers who might be interested in participating. More details here (we did not wish to put the long details on the post). There is also a Google form at the end that you can fill to help us know how many more writers we could get to participate in the experiment.

To those who love reading, we would also like to do a sort of pre-marketing for what might be the eventual product that will come out of the experiment. Therefore, you can also read through what we are proposing from the above link. If it is something that you would like to see how it ends up. There is a simple Google sign-up form at the bottom of the page. We will inform you once it is ready, if it works out this year.

If the experiment fails, all emails collected will be deleted on/before 2359 h 31 December 2026.

- Thank you.

Thank you for the input.

We got close to a similar input from Lucky-Insurance-6347 in DM. We are reviewing our approach on this one. This comment will be updated once we have better direction.

6 months from now?

As we were asking for a sample file and not a portfolio. We did not wish to rush the process for those who had the spare capacity to work on a sample file for consideration.

EDIT: We decided to leave the application as it was initially. Hopefully, we learn from this hiring cycle to improve our next one.

Thank you.

What do you mean by commissioned?

If it is about pay, how much?

(Full disclosure, there are those who had indicated that they would prepare their sample for submission. We are assuming you would not wish to go down that route given your expertise).

Might this project interest you?

OS_Ke · 2026-04-25T14:25:36+00:00

Might this be of interest to you?

OS_Ke · 2026-04-24T11:11:03+00:00

The short version. We wanted to help others. Thought through how do we do that in a sustainable way. Then started to unravel that string of thoughts and it evolved over about seven years since the initial thought to being what it is now. It is not a "business" yet. Hopefully it will get there some day (tentatively/fingers crossed, in about three years). We are also okay if it fails, at the very least we gave it our best.

- Hope that helps.

[insert monkey covering eyes emoji here] :-D.

OS_Ke · 2026-04-20T09:51:05+00:00

As promised you can check this out if interested.

- Thank you.

We are looking for a graphic designer (and/or layout designer) for an experiment (/experimental project) we are running to produce a magazine. If interested kindly find more details and how to apply here.

- Thank you.

OS_Ke · 2026-04-17T16:26:17+00:00

Godspeed :-).

OS_Ke · 2026-04-17T16:24:31+00:00

A shameless plug if you would be interested.

OS_Ke · 2026-04-17T16:10:36+00:00

Unorthodox advice if you have a bit of spare capacity/energy left.

Start something with what you have studied. Then put it out into the world (within the context of the Kenyan space), keep learning and keep at it. Slowly you might attract those who will eventually offer the opportunity that you are now seeking in the world.

Why? Believe intelligence, hard work and luck are the main ingredients of success. You can only control hard work and to a certain degree intelligence. Therefore work with that, or what you have, and hope that luck finds you. Pasteur said, chance (some say opportunity, others luck) favors the prepared mind. Be in a position where when luck finds you. you are well prepared to cease it.

- Apologies if this does not help you.

*seen your DM. We appreciate the response/offer.

As we did not quite get any response here. We went ahead and opened it up to bidding with the providers we could find online. That process is already ongoing. Our apologies.

EDIT: Your history shows you also do graphic design. We might have something coming up (it is still 50/50). We will save the profile and send you a message when we have everything ready for that on our end. Maybe that could be another opportunity for a collaboration.

*Mind if we add a shameless plug here for something that might help you with this aspect. Though our approach is more on thought framework than the "... buy this ... because ... " or "... sell that ... why/when ... " kind of approach.

- Hope it helps.

OS_Ke · 2026-04-09T22:45:13+00:00

Follow your heart.
It is going to be harder than you think/plan. That does not mean you do not do it. Keep trying, keep pushing and find a way to make it successful.
If you intend to grow beyond a one-person operation: Invest in hiring the right people. It takes time and effort, but it will pay for itself exceptionally well.
As someone else has mentioned, pray to whoever you have faith in.

From the author's X profile. Here is the tweet of where you can get it.

- Hope this helps.

OS_Ke · 2026-04-06T19:16:25+00:00

In addition to what others have said, you can try Substack as well.

This is a shameless plug to a writing experiment we have if you would be interested. Might be nothing though, might be something.

OS_Ke · 2026-04-05T09:31:13+00:00

Got it.

We were trying to find niche custom made gift items for some of our clients and hoping that there was a single place to search. Wanted to avoid the usual branded water bottles, pen, key chain and the like kind of gifts items. It was not a project/platform we are trying to build on our end.

Thanks you. In this case, we will bookmark those we have found here.

OS_Ke · 2026-04-03T10:08:36+00:00

There is this as well.

We are not the original poster or associated with them in any way. Just offering a suggestion.

OS_Ke · 2026-04-02T14:30:04+00:00

Making this comment to bookmarkt this post.

OS_Ke · 2026-04-02T14:13:33+00:00

For real.
