If you are passionate about a wide variety of musical genres, have experience conducting interviews in-person or on the phone, have creative ideas about long-form features, and can consistently meet deadlines then this is a great opportunity for you.

    Features Writers will be responsible for researching and reading in preparation for their pieces, proofreading, editing, and generating ideas for future stories and features.

    While having experience conducting interviews and writing music-related features is preferred, we also want passionate and eager writers who are knowledgeable and/or willing to learn more about about a wide range of genres and artists. Our eclecticism and open-mindedness is something that sets us apart from other online music publications and we are looking for writers who share the same philosophy.
