Mike Epstein, Senior Commerce Editor at Hearst Enthusiast Group, is looking for writers: 

I am looking for a freelance A/V writer to handle some commerce work for Popular Mechanics. Pressing need for someone who has tested outdoor speakers in the past, but I need a person or two for various types of speakers, headphones, TVs and possibly projectors throughout the year.
