Description
Are you passionate about renewable energy and living a more sustainable lifestyle?
If you have expertise with green-living and sustainability topics (such as solar, renewables, recycling, living off-grid etc) and love writing and blogging then we need to talk.
We’re a small media company that runs a number of blogs that reach millions of readers annually.
We’re looking for a skilled freelance writer to join our editorial team for https://greencoast.org/, a website that’s all about teaching people how to live a more sustainable lifestyle.
We’ve got big plans to invest in and grow the website so you’ll be part of an exciting, growing project with a bright future.
We cover a wide range of topics related to sustainability. You don’t have to already be an expert in all of them, but you should have some knowledge and experience in this area, and be willing to research and teach yourself about different topics.
You’ll be part of a wider team, but you’ll be working primarily with the managing editor who will assist by providing feedback, creating briefs and overseeing the editorial process. As such, you’ll need to be able to listen to constructive criticism and make changes accordingly - as well as bring fresh ideas to the table. We’ll give you a consistent, flexible flow of work alongside world-class editorial tools to ensure you’re able to produce the very best content with minimal bottlenecks.

- You should HATE fluffy, overwritten content that never gets to the point!
- You should have excellent written communication skills and the ability to work remotely
- You should be willing to listen to editor feedback and apply changes to articles where necessary
