Wondering Wednesdays – Dream Job

Welcome to Wondering Wednesdays, a weekly post to learn more about me and other bloggers 🙂 If you’re a blogger, please join in every week!

Today’s questions is –  What’s your dream job?

Um…..being paid to read books. Obviously.

Anyone else have this dream!? I’m thinking we all do lol.

Okay, I do have a few dream jobs.

I think it’d be really cool to own a bookstore/bakery. It combines my love of reading and baking. Of course, it would be mostly a Christian bookstore, because those are scarce in my area. I see a small bakery – nothing huge. Just a small selection of baked goodies, made daily of course. And maybe coffee – because I love coffee. Don’t worry tea lovers, I’d have that too 🙂

I would also LOVE to work from home. This could be virtual assistants full time for authors. Right now I just do essentially side gigs for two people, so I’d need a LOT more authors on board to make it possible for me to be home. Also, I love proofreading. It’s like looking for those little mistakes that really irk me as a reader, and make sure they don’t end up in the print version. I really enjoy doing that.

I also have a dream of working for a Christian publishing company. This is hard to do, and I’d only be able to do it remotely, but I think it’d be amazing having a part in spreading the gospel, as well as assisting in getting some amazing books in the world. I keep looking at the jobs, but they aren’t really remote. So if you ever see one – let me know!

And lastly, I have these ideas kicking around about books for little readers. I’ve done research, and it’s (in my opinion) harder to get published as a picture book author, or even an “I Can Read” type author. So it’s still a dream. Maybe it’ll come to fruition one day and maybe it won’t.

So there you have it. A peek into my dream world. Like I said, the ultimate dream job would be to just get paid to read books. That’s about as close to heaven as I think we can get in this world. Well, as long as there’s peanut butter nearby 😉

What about you? What is your dream job!?
