Unusual Jobs Of Famous Writers Infographic…

Hi Chris,

My name is Alisa and I’m a part of the Unplag team.

I want to inform you that we have created a great infographic ‘Unusual Jobs Of Famous Writers’ by Daria Bilokon.

The main idea – many of big-name authors had unbelievably weird jobs not related to their writing careers at all.

Please, consider sharing it among your readers.

It would be an honour to be a part of your blog.

Alisa

    All the artists I’ve known (quite a few) have had ‘day’ jobs. Thank you for choosing to follow one of my blogs. 😉

I’m sure this is something that will surprise you as much as it caught me. I found it on “The Story Reading Ape’s” blog. Have fun finding out what famous writers did for living before they were famous for their books.

Maybe there’s hope for me yet. I’ve held many jobs in between working at bookstores. And yes, they were all legal. Although, come to think of it, my grandparents on both sides of my family had stills during Prohibition! 😉

Oyster pirate? CIA study volunteer? Just goes to show everyone can write if they just sit down and work on it.

Jack London as Oyster Pirate somehow seems to fit. Amazing.

    Good question! I just assumed it was someone who raided other people’s oysters. Ha ha. (I have no idea!)

Have to admit that I’m really curious about the Ken Kesey CIA study.
