PLEASE APPLY HERE: https://www.thetectonics.org/content-writer
About
House of Tectonics is a literary magazine based out of Seattle, WA, and we're currently hiring our initial team for launch. We publish in several genres of fiction as well as memoir-style blogs, and poetry. We are a small but super team of creatives and professionals all working together to create something beautiful and unique. Our art style is mixed media so we are looking for writing that is authentic, unique, and weird.
Mode
This is a hybrid position in Seattle, requiring on-site presence several times a week, but you can come in whenever you want. We love it when people are in the office, bouncing ideas and churning out great things. You must have your own computer/writing utensils.
Responsibilities
- Contribute either/both short stories or full-length books (chapter by chapter) to the magazine.
- Contribute 3-6 pieces of content each month.
- Contribute blog-style posts about the activities and adventures of the team, daily life, journalistic entries, rants, thoughts, reviews, etc.
- Edit and proofread materials.
- Develop and maintain a consistent brand voice and tone across multiple projects and platforms.
- Collaborate with the team to develop creative strategies that bring complex ideas to life and align with campaign objectives.
- Participate in fun team-building activities and collaborations.
Qualifications
We are hiring writers from all different stages in their careers. The only thing we look for and value are the quality of your writing, your creative ability, and if you can work full-time. To that extent, you must submit a writing portfolio to be considered for this position.
The Content Writers are hired on a monthly retainer basis.
You should have:
- High school degree, or some college degree.
- Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
- Exceptional writing, editing, and storytelling skills, with a portfolio that demonstrates versatility across genres and forms.
- Proven track record of meeting deadlines and managing multiple projects in a fast-paced environment.
- Ability to think fast, prepare, and collaborate with the team.
- Amazing typing skills.
Application Process
You must submit a portfolio of writing to be considered for this role. Please attach all writing samples in one document. You can submit three pieces of short-form content and if you're working on a novel, the first 30 pages of it. You must have the entire first draft of your novel ready. Our editor will help develop and process it further, as will our beta readers. If you're not a novelist and only want to contribute short, standalone pieces (articles, blogs, short stories) of content, you can submit more than three pieces. Your entire document should be 30-60 pages in total.
Please answer all application questions on our website. There are no right or wrong answers, no right or wrong stories. All we're looking for is a strong, authentic voice that has something unique to say, something that will make us sit up in our chairs and take notice.
Please email general@thetectonics.org if you have any questions, or want to add anything to your application. We try to review all applications within two weeks.
