Freelance Writer, Entertainment

Are you passionate about film? Have you binged the latest Netflix streaming hit and can convey your thoughts about it in a clear and entertaining way? Are you knowledgeable about all the major players in Hollywood, New York City, Cannes, and beyond? Digital Trends seeks a passionate freelance writer who has experience writing about the entertainment industry and possesses the skill set needed to create a variety of compelling articles that will relate to our readers.

What You'll Do:
The right candidate will be able to pitch and execute a variety of different types of articles for our Entertainment section that include features (usually 1,000-2,000 words), op-eds (1,000-2,000 words), lists (750-1500 words), and/or reviews (750-2,000 words). The ability to turn around clean and concise copy quickly and reliably with appropriate images can turn this into a long-term, reliable source of work for a passionate writer with a strong work ethic, voice, and understanding of the entertainment industry.

As part of your job, you will also find and secure relevant images, video clips, trailers, and other media to draw readers into your posts and retain them. Your sources will include media from studios, official press releases, stock photography from services like Getty Images, and more. You will work with the Section Editor in pitching, drafting, revising (if necessary), and publishing your work.
