Commerce Writers wanted (home, garden) | $100-$600+ per piece

COMPANY/PUBLICATION: BOBVILA.COM

BobVila.com, the online home of America’s original home improvement icon, is looking for contributing writers!

Visited by millions each month, Bob Vila publishes new content daily, with themes running the gamut from aspirational to instructional. Readers trust the brand for answers to their peskiest appliance problems, shopping guidance for household staples, and advice on how to streamline household maintenance. Therefore, we rely on our writers to deliver accessible, solidly researched service content on anything and everything related to the home: must-do maintenance, real estate, organization, renovation, design, DIY, yard work, and much more.

THE ASSIGNMENTS

• Our commerce content comes in the form of shopping guides, roundups, reviews, and informational stories that serve readers with quality product recommendations based on heavy vetting and/or rigorous testing.
• Assignments are readily available as part of the planned editorial calendar, but pitches are also enthusiastically encouraged and often rewarded with even more assignments that cater to your specific interests.
• You will work closely with Bob Vila’s editorial team to craft a story and polish it as needed to align with the brand’s voice and style.

THE IDEAL CANDIDATE

• We are looking for writers who are experts on specific topics in the home space to recommend the best products to our readers. Ideal contributors are detail-oriented writers with an understanding of SEO best practices and experience writing product roundups and/or reviews.
• Contributors must have bylines on major home, garden, and DIY websites.

The below qualifications are a plus. Let us know if you have:

• Spent time in an industry niche (e.g., interior design, construction, landscaping, plumbing, electrical, home security)
• Received category-relevant education or other certification (e.g., a Master Gardener’s degree)
• Industry contacts are a huge plus
