Write crisp, clean, captivating learning materials in a fast-paced and supportive environment
Work with diverse teams to create innovative and informative content
Connect with readers by writing in a conversational, friendly, empathetic tone
Use your research skills to ensure that we’re providing our readers with the most accurate and relevant information available
What you’ll bring:
Ability to write great content that people want to read
Curiosity and a desire to share new learnings with a diverse audience
Commitment to both the big picture and the details in your writing
Motivation and drive to work independently
Eagerness for constructive feedback
College degree, preferably in English, Creative Writing, or another writing-intensive field
To apply, please send a brief introductory email to writing@wikihow.com with the subject line “Special Projects Writer” The email should include your resume and ONE writing sample that showcases work that you’re proud of, ideally a published piece intended for a broad audience.
We will be reviewing and contacting applicants about next steps. You'll need to pass a brief paid writing test as part of our application process. If you pass our initial test, we will move you on to a 2-week trial contract that will allow us to get to know your work, and give you the opportunity to decide whether this role is right for you.
Please note: We’re a small team processing a high volume of applications. While we do review every application, we unfortunately can’t guarantee a response to every applicant. We are very grateful for your time and interest in wikiHow!
