COMPANY/PUBLICATION: LIFEWIRE

Do you love writing about technology? Do you enjoy helping people learn things and solve problems? Are you the person everyone comes to for help in understanding how something works in a language they understand? Are you an experienced tech writer? If so, we need to talk.

Lifewire, one of the largest tech sites on the web, is looking for a number of experienced freelance technology writers who share our passion for creating content that leaves readers feeling educated, empowered, and understood. We’re looking for writers who think of themselves more as technology educators than journalists.

The audience we reach is not that of a tech enthusiast. No breaking news, insider jargon, or snarky pieces here. Technology is super important to our readers because of how it makes their lives better, not because they obsess over the technology itself. Our writers take pride in understanding this audience and knowing how to speak to them.

MUST HAVE:

5+ years demonstrable (with bylines) experience writing about consumer-facing technology
Ability to write on a breadth of technology topics, across popular platforms and devices
Ability to meet weekly deadlines
Experience working as a remote freelancer
Demonstrable experience documenting processes
Strong research skills
Experience writing for a web-based publication
Very high comfort level and demonstrable experience writing straightforward, practical, and instructional-style advice on technology
Willingness to work closely with an Assignment Editor and Copy Editor
Terrific skills in screenshot-taking and finding great images for your content
Experience with a WordPress-style CMS
A working Google Account and familiarity with Google Sheets
