We’re looking for a talented, curious, and community-minded writer to join our publishing team.
This position will help tell the stories of businesses, organizations, people, and communities in your region. You’ll write for several publications, including magazines, business journals, destination guides, special publications, and other print and digital projects produced throughout the year.
We’re looking for someone who enjoys talking with people, asking good questions, finding the story behind the story, and turning interviews and research into articles people actually want to read.
What You’ll Do
- Write feature stories, business profiles, community stories, news pieces, and other editorial content
- Contribute regularly to regional publications
- Interview business owners, community leaders, entrepreneurs, nonprofit organizations, and other local voices
- Research story topics and develop article ideas
- Work with editorial and design teams to plan upcoming publications
- Write content for special publications, visitor guides, directories, and other projects
- Edit and proofread articles before publication
- Help maintain editorial calendars and meet publication deadlines
- Develop relationships with businesses and organizations throughout your region
- Occasionally assist with website, email, social, and other written content
- Help identify interesting stories happening in your community
Who We’re Looking For
You don’t need extensive professional experience. We’re looking for someone who can write well, communicate confidently, stay organized, and genuinely enjoys learning about people and businesses.
A great candidate will have:
- Strong writing, editing, and proofreading skills
- The ability to conduct engaging interviews
- Natural curiosity and willingness to dig deeper into a story
- Strong attention to detail
- The ability to manage multiple stories and deadlines at once
- Comfort reaching out to and interviewing people you haven’t met before
- An understanding of what makes a story interesting to a local audience
- The ability to adapt your writing style for different publications and audiences
- A collaborative attitude and willingness to work closely with editors, designers, photographers, and the broader team
Experience in journalism, communications, marketing, publishing, or professional writing is preferred, but a strong writing portfolio and the right personality matter more to us than a specific degree or career path. Full training will be provided to get you up to speed.
What You’ll Write About
One week you might be interviewing the owner of a new restaurant. The next, you could be profiling a major employer, covering a development project, highlighting a local nonprofit, or helping put together a guide showcasing what your region has to offer.
The variety is a big part of the job. Our publications reach thousands of readers throughout the region, giving you the opportunity to tell stories about the businesses, people, projects, and ideas shaping your communities.
