Publishing Division Positions
  •  PUBLICIST
General Description:  A book publicist is typically employed by a publishing house, and it is his or her responsibility to generate media interest in a new book. He or she ultimately wants journalists to write pieces about the author and his or her book, in order to increase public interest and sales. The job is a combination of the marketing and publishing fields. Typically, there are no formal educational requirements to become a book publicist. The job involves a lot of communication and writing. It is necessary for a publicist to be assertive, outgoing, knowledgeable in his or her field, and of course someone who enjoys reading. This is a paid position.

  • EDITOR

They work closely with design artists, compositors, production personnel, marketing departments, and experts in the field to design an attractive product, guide it through the various levels of production, and then promote it once it has been published. Working closely with the author, they ensure that the work being produced has high literary merit and is free from inconsistencies, including grammatical and spelling errors. This is a paid position.

Please follow these steps to become a KRG Member or Certified Field Researcher
1. Contact the KRG Director
You should call or email KRG Director Zach Parker and let him know of your interest in becoming a field researcher or collaborator with KRG. This will give you a chance to ask questions, and will allow the Director to get to know you and what skills you will bring to the group.

​Only qualified professionals who are dedicated to helping the community and goals of Kahuna Research Group will be considered.
2. Become a Member by Donating to the Mission.
The second step to becoming a KRG Member is to pledge your support. A KRG sponsorship is $100/year and includes many perks. This step shows us you're serious about supporting our mission.
3. Read the KRG Standard Operating Procedure
The SOP and all new member information will be emailed to you upon completing your registration. Familiarize yourself with the KRG Field Investigator's Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) manual. To ensure that only competent investigators conduct witness interviews, on-site investigations, and collateral contacts with public agencies and others, formal field researcher training is essential. It begins with our manual which will help you determine if taking the final step is the right course of action or not. The KRG Field Investigator's SOP Manual is the basic reference for training and duties as an official KRG field researcher. All trainees must possess an original copy of the manual and become completely familiar with its contents.
NOTE: The SOP will be emailed to your email address once you complete step 2 above. Also available on the documents page for existing members.
4. Consider taking the ParaNexus C.P.I. course (not affiliated with KRG)

Trained KRG Investigators are ranked among the most highly trained certified paranormal investigators in the country. As always, it begins with dedication and effort. If you've never performed an investigation, then training is essential. The Field Researcher course from the Metaphysics Institute provides you with the training and forms necessary to be an effective investigator. Beginning the course is the fastest way to become an official investigator with KRG because it shows us that you are serious about paranormal research. Finishing the course and passing the final exam tells us that you are ready to be one of our premier investigators. Television opportunities are limited to those who have begun or completed this course.

This course is a serious and professional academic online study course taken by hundreds of students. You will receive 2.5 CEU's (college credits) for passing this course. This course is not filled with fluff nor does it only contain information freely available online. It features fresh thinking and concepts that will not only educate, enrich, and balance you as a anomalous researcher, but will also enrich your life and relationships. Topics discussed include how to conduct investigations, equipment, and basic evidence analysis. This course is a basic certification course focusing on ghost/spirit activity and includes certification as a "Certified Paranormal Investigator" (CPI), certificate, ID card, and ID badge sent in high-quality PDF format. 

NOTE: If you have already taken the ParaNexus or IMHS CPI Course, do not take this course; they are the same. However, you may be interested in taking your paranormal education further by getting an advanced certification or PhD in Paranormal Science, Parapsychology, Ufology, or Cryptozoology. Advanced certification programs are available from ICHS. PhD degrees are available at IMHS.
