Description
Overview
Scandification is an online publication dedicated to the amazing region of Scandinavia.
Initially launched as a travel blog in 2019, Scandification branched out as a result of the pandemic, and is now a growing knowledge bank covering Denmark, Sweden and Norway – along with Iceland, Finland, the Faroe Islands and Greenland.
Welcoming thousands of daily readers, we’re dedicated to providing insightful and engaging content, which is where you come in…
About you
To make Scandification truly authentic, we’re seeking to establish long-term relationships with experienced, native writers to join our team as ‘featured’ contributors.
If you’re fluent in written English, and have a thorough knowledge of Scandinavia (as a whole), Sweden, Denmark or Norway we’re keen to hear from you.
As a talented writer, you’ll quickly become a valuable asset to our team and can expect to receive assignments that will vary in length, from 1,500 to 3,000+ words. We’ll cover diverse topics from response posts and research-based articles, to stories about places, spaces, brands and travel.
As part of each assignment, you’ll be expected to make recommendations for imagery, for us to fine tune in-house.
Our working relationship will be built on two-way dialogue and trust.
