Feature Writer [CLOSED]

Van Patten Media

Job Title: Writer - Contract

Job Description: Van Patten Media Inc., a leading custom software developer and user experience design team, is going through a redesign of the official website - vanpattenmedia.com.

Your job will be to serve as the primary editorial contributor for approximately 10 - 15 client interviews and accompanying case studies as well as general pages (About, Contact, etc.).

Direct interviews with former and existing clients will be required, so fluent English and professional writing and communication styles are a requirement.

However, we're looking for a self-starter with experience and creativity. A healthy mix of informational and business writing styles is important, but if you can provide an editorial flare that aligns with our brand, that would be ideal!

Required Skills/Characteristics:

• Fluent or masterful use of the English language - written and spoken

• Comfort and/or experience with discussing custom software development

• Experience performing and/or recording phone interviews

• Experience working in a deadline-sensitive environment

• Experience with business professional or informational writing

Please include your favorite holiday in your response, so we know you've read carefully.

Preferred Skills/Characteristics:

• Experience with technical writing

• Experience with features writing

• Experience writing case studies or report write-ups

• Experience in an interview-focused position

• Journalism experience

In your job application, please provide one or more sample pieces (sample profiles if possible), in addition to a cover letter outlining your relevant editorial experience.

This is a milestone-based project. Please provide your desired rate per interview and associated profile/case study.
