Freelance Writer (Website Creation Specialist)

We manage the content for some of the highest-profile B2B sites out there.

Content fuels our entire business. It could not be more central to our success. And we’re building what we believe to be the most talented content team in B2B.

That’s where you come in.

We are looking for a skilled freelance writer who knows the world of website creation inside and out. Your sole focus will be to write unbiased, comprehensive product reviews, guides, tutorials, product comparisons, and “best of” lists—all focused on topics related to website creation. We’ll provide you with topics and templates to follow. You will be responsible for researching and writing articles that align with our voice and adhere to our editorial standards.

And just so you know, most of our in-house team were freelancers before we joined Stone Press. We know what it’s like. We’ve committed ourselves to treating freelancers the way we would’ve wanted to be treated when we were in your shoes. To do this, we pay per project. We’ll send you a brief along with the proposed pay rate, and you’ll have a chance to review and accept it before you start working. Additionally, we understand the value of knowing that consistent work is coming each month. If you’re submitting high-quality work and meeting deadlines, we can offer consistent, reliable work. (Our preferred workflow is to assign your projects at the beginning of the month, set a due date for the end of the month, and let you work at your own pace as you turn in each assignment when it’s complete.)
