Culture Writer

Employer: The Everygirl

We’re looking to add new voices to The Everygirl’s Culture section—our hub for all things entertainment. Can you identify The Internet’s next favorite series by the trailer alone? Do you just know a book is going to be all over TikTok the moment it’s announced? Or are you the friend who can launch into a 10-minute speech on why that one scene will forever be cemented in entertainment history? If you’re an entertainment writer with an eye for the buzzworthy, we want to hear from you!

We’re looking to add creative, diverse, passionate, and knowledgeable writers to our team. As a Culture writer for The Everygirl, you’ll be asked to pitch and write content across a variety of pop culture topics. We’re specifically looking for writers who can provide unique perspectives and insight for the following categories:

• Movies & TV
• Music
• Books
• Podcasts

REQUIREMENTS:

• A strong understanding of The Everygirl’s brand and coverage
• A strong comprehension of AP Style and grammar and ability to follow The Everygirl Media Group Style Guide
• Experience writing about entertainment
• Experience sourcing and researching entertainment topics
• Be available to pitch and write 2+ articles a month
• Be comfortable with Google Docs

COMPENSATION:

All articles are paid. Rates will be outlined and agreed upon when pitches are approved.

  • A note on pitches: We love round-ups, but our writers will be called on to contribute in-depth analysis, reviews, and opinions on trending properties (or the good stuff no one is talking about… yet). A successful pitch will be engaging, unique, and focused.
