You need to think on a wider scale. The industry in SG is such that we have science writers writing tech manuals, finance writers writing on arts, humanities writers writing corporate annuals, etc.

You may be a science writer, but you can still do all the basics right? You know about things like page setting and content planning. And you have the language skills.

Just go out and find jobs related to publication. There are a lot out there.
