[This opportunity was posted 30+ days ago and has expired.]

Are you an eager freelance writer passionate about helping creators? We’re looking for regular contributors for our weekly newsletter and feature writers for longer interviews and stories. A couple reasons why you should come write with us.

People need great storytelling more than ever—but the business model supporting journalism is broken. Tools like Substack are letting more writers net a sustainable income from their words—but building an audience isn’t easy.

We believe everyone should have the opportunity to own their platform, not just experienced journalists, vapid influencers, or venture-funded writers. 

Right now, we are an online magazine and weekly newsletter sharing original stories, creative wisdom, practical guidance, and occasional salty humor from ambitious creators making a sustainable living at the corner of creativity and commerce.

We’re fortunate enough to invest in both serving and creating new opportunities for creators. Publications like ours would be nothing without talented writers, editors, photographers, and artists—we want to put the power back in your hands.

We’re not just here to build a new publication for creators—we’re here to help the creator community with everything we do. Our partnership-based freelance model creates opportunities for new voices and ideas to flourish beyond what they can achieve on your own.

So here’s why we’re different:

• You’ll have creative freedom: No investors or brands pulling the purse strings
• You own your work: We get 90-day exclusivity, then you can republish anywhere
• We’ll help you grow: We offer pooled resources, production support, and co-promotion

Oh, and money! We’ll give you money:

• We pay fast: 50% upfront, 50% after receiving the final draft
• We pay fair. Newsletter stories start at $250, and longer pieces start at $800
• We share profits: 70+% of our profits go back into our contributors’ pockets

What we’re looking for:

• Regular newsletter columnists to share news and trends for creators
• Feature profiles, creative essays, feature articles, creative essays, and how-to guides covering the highs and lows of building a creative biz
• Lively writers not afraid to have fun
