Freelance Feature Writers - Sports

Perpetual Sports Network is looking to add to its freelance pool for writers and photographers. We operate two storytelling platforms that focus on the athlete’s journey. Our approach is simple: We want to tell great stories. If you have a strong portfolio and a desire to do your best work time and again, we want to hear from you. Long-form feature writers: You can take the reader on a journey by painting a picture with words. Your writing has nuance and depth. It has detail and keen observation. Stories up to 3,000 words that don’t push a reader away; rather they pull them closer to the subject. Writers for this unique style must balance the art of storytelling with a poet’s touch, without being elitist, trivial or condescending. Your clips will show growth and balance in how you approach the subject. Feature writers: You’re tasked with doing 800-1,200 words, and often this will be done over the phone or Zoom. Because you can’t be there, your job is harder. You’re an expert at preparation, research and formulating questions that reveal. Your writing is efficient, colorful and sharp. You desire more words, but can deliver a complete profile in the space allowed.
