Freelance Writer

Thanks for your interest in Campfire Labs' freelance writer position. Please note that we are looking for senior freelance writers with 5+ years of experience. We are specifically looking for writers who have experience writing in a narrative, journalistic style and have B2B experience. We will evaluate applications based on the quality and alignment of samples against this criteria.

Here are some examples of stories in that style:

First Round Review -> https://review.firstround.com/give-away-your-legos-and-other-commandments-for-scaling-startups
Clearbit Data-Driven Sales -> https://clearbit.com/resources/books/data-driven-sales
Collins -> https://www.wearecollins.com/ideas/case-story-exploratorium/

Unfortunately at this time, we won't consider any applications that don't include samples in this style. Examples of content styles that we frequently disqualify include:

Listicles — There's nothing wrong with a good list, but we rarely produce these or hire writers that write a lot of them.
Web copywriting — We love a good landing page, but we don't write copy for these for our clients.
Personal essays — This generally includes links from Medium, Substack, etc.
Articles that start with a question — For example "Are you looking to grow your small business?" Generally, these articles aren't narrative-driven.

**Rates**
We generally pay $0.50 per word or $50 per hour for projects, depending on how predictable the scope is. For ebooks, that means we pay between $1,200 and $2,000 per project. For blog posts, case studies, and thought leadership stories that means we pay $500-1,000 per article.
