Depends where you are in Somerville. One of the locations I recently looked to move was Sullivan Square (Orange line or bike to Back Bay - easy). Right now I just ride my bike to Back Bay from Central, hop on the train, and fall asleep. The commute is a dream. If you ride, Somerville won't be too hard, but driving is always an option too.
We generally tend to look for a few years experience in some compositional background. The writers here are as diverse as former journalists, technical writers, web site editors, and corporate newsletter scribes. I've got the most advanced degree (MFA) of any of the writers, and almost didn't get the job because of it. They're looking for a college graduate with any kind of writing experience. Copyediting skills are also vital.
More important is a familiarty and passion for the products. If you want to give the job a shot, go to Target or a toy store (or Wal-Mart if you're having a self-hating day) and look at the Playskool line. Find somethin there to feel passionate about, and write a cover letter from that perspective.
If you've done any kind of professional writing, you're probably qualified.

Also, would I have met you anywhere?
