About FEDA

The Foodservice Equipment Distributors Association (FEDA) represents distributors, manufacturers, and industry partners serving the commercial foodservice equipment and supplies market. Through education, industry resources, advocacy, and communications, FEDA works to strengthen the distribution channel and promote the essential role distributors play in connecting manufacturers with restaurants and other foodservice operators.

FEDA publishes a quarterly magazine and a weekly newsletter covering industry news, business trends, leadership, technology, operations, and other issues affecting the industry. Through these publications, FEDA seeks to inform members about important trends, emerging business models, critical challenges, or best practices. We also strive to highlight the expertise and services distributors provide to the broader industry.

About the Opportunity

FEDA is seeking freelance writers to contribute articles to its magazine and other publications. Working directly with the association’s editor, freelance writers will help develop and produce engaging, informative content that serves distributor executives and other industry professionals.

Assignments may include:

• Industry trends: Exploring developments in technology, the economy, supply chains, workforce management, and other issues shaping the industry.
• Business challenges: Examining the obstacles facing foodservice equipment distributors and how business leaders are responding.
• Operational insights: Highlighting strategies, best practices and real-world examples that help companies improve their operations, strengthen customer relationships, and grow their businesses.
• Executive profiles and company stories: Telling the stories of industry leaders and businesses, with an emphasis on leadership, innovation, business strategy, growth, and the people behind successful member companies.

Articles typically range from 1,200 to 1,800 words, depending on the assignment, and freelance writers are generally paid by the word (50 to 75 cents per word, based on experience). The editor will work with writers to develop story ideas, establish the scope of each assignment, coordinate interviews, and finalize articles for publication.

Who We’re Looking For

We’re interested in writers who know how to translate complex business topics into clear, compelling stories for an executive audience. Ideal candidates will have experience covering businesses, particularly executive-level issues, leadership, management, and business strategy.

We’re especially interested in writers with strong storytelling and profile-writing skills who can conduct insightful interviews, identify the details that bring a story to life, and produce well-reported articles that go beyond the surface. Experience writing for business publications, trade magazines, or professional associations is preferred.

Familiarity with the foodservice equipment and supplies industry is a plus, but the ability to learn an industry, ask thoughtful questions, and deliver accurate, engaging copy is most important.

How to Apply

Please submit the following:

• 2-3 writing samples that demonstrate your ability to write for a business audience or trade association publication. Samples featuring executive interviews, company profiles, business strategy, or industry analysis are particularly welcome.
• A link to your portfolio or professional writing website.
• A brief introduction describing your relevant experience, areas of expertise, and interest in writing for FEDA.

To get a feel for our editorial style, tone and coverage, please review recent issues of FEDA’s magazine:

• Fall 2026 Issue
• Summer 2026 Issue

We welcome inquiries from freelance writers interested in developing thoughtful, actionable stories that inform industry leaders and showcase the important role foodservice equipment distributors play in the marketplace. Please email your application to Tim O’Connor at tim@feda.com.
