Jobs & Projects at RRP International

I am passing along information about positions at RRP International. Although I am an owner in the company, there is a rigidly defined selection process that cannot be short circuited.

Thus, sucking up to me will not help you and will probably hurt you. I do want to pass the information along and get some quality candidates.

RRP International, a media production and publishing company based in Central Kentucky, has an immediate need for people who can complete the following tasks or serve in the outlined positions within the organization.

The following projects will be done on a “project” basis.

You will be paid a flat amount, in three unequal installments. A small stipend to start, a payment in the middle and the bulk of the payment at completion. Payment amount will be a negotiated contract.


1. Website design. We are looking for someone who can design an “easy to read and easy to update” website that is user friendly. Please include links and examples of previous work if you are interested in this project.

2. Book editing and coordination. The ideal candidate (or candidates) will have excellent grammar skills. Preference will be given to candidates with experience as a book editor or a copy editor for a newspaper or other publication.
