Job Overview:

YourDictionary.com is a best-in-class grammar and reference site.

We are currently looking for a part-time staff writer to join our editorial content team.

We are looking for writers with solid experience and knowledge of this subject matter. This means education and/or work experience that is directly related to the subjects we cover, not just experience as a writer. Maybe you’re an educator who has taught several subjects and has a penchant for punctuation, or a writer with a teaching degree who can tell an aphorism from an arthropod. We want a writer who can create accessible, informative content covering a wide range of grammatical and educational topics for learners of all ages.

This is a part-time (up to 25 hours per week), telecommuting employee position. Writers create high-quality content that addresses our readers’ needs and adheres to company guidelines.

Job Responsibilities:

• Ensure that all articles are written in a manner consistent with company guidelines
• Work on fixing older content, which includes updating and rewriting existing articles
• Keep an accurate record of time worked
• Communicate with the rest of the editorial team as needed
• Attend regular (virtual) meetings
• Give your feedback, ideas, and suggestions on YourDictionary and other LoveToKnow Corp. properties
• Allot time for working on personal authority/branding

Job Requirements:
