How-To Geek - Mac Writer

This position will operate on a remote, freelance basis.
 

HowToGeek.com is looking for feature writers to cover Mac related content for the website. That said, you can write across any section of the site in which you have first-hand expertise!

About Us

How-To Geek is an online technology publication with tens of millions of readers each month. Our readers love How-To Geek because of its unique voice. We’re not a website for geeks—we are the geeks. 

We’re the people you turn to when your computer isn’t working right, you need to do something technical, or you want to understand the latest gadgets—and which are the best ones to buy. We explain it all in simple, approachable terms. How-To Geek is for everyone.

Our target audience are everyday consumers who are interested in tech; we write for the lay-people, not industry insiders. For example, our readers are the "Should You Upgrade to a Wi-Fi 7 Router?" crowd. Not the "Wi-Fi 7 Routers Will Usher In the IoT Market Penetration Shift" crowd.

Here are some examples of Mac articles:

• How to Wipe a Drive on a Mac
• How to Turn Safari Websites Into Mac Apps
• How to Find Downloads on a Mac

Expectations:

• Write a minimum of 8 feature articles per month, with no upper limit
• You will pitch, claim, and be assigned topics
• Stay up to date on the latest tech news, products and updates
• Input work into our in-house system and format images according to our guidelines

What we're looking for:

• Relevant experience in writing and editing in the English language
• Expert knowledge of Mac OS
• Must have macOS 13 Ventura (with the expectation of updating to the latest version ASAP after it's made available)

Application Requirements:

• CV, Cover Letter, Screening Questions
  In your Cover Letter, please address the following questions:
  - Why do you want to write for How-To Geek?
  - What makes you the right fit for this role? (You can touch upon previous experience and your passion for technology)

We will get back to you as soon as possible if we think you'd make a solid addition to the team.
