  • Track emerging storylines across sports, athlete culture, and social media
  • Submit clean, publish-ready copy on deadline
  • Pitch original  headlines or  story concepts depending on your skill set
  • Collaborate with editors to ensure content quality and discoverability

We're Looking for Writers Who

  • Have a strong pulse on one or more major sports (NBA, NFL, MLB, etc.)
  • Are experienced in  news writing and understand what makes a story clickable
  • Can write multiple stories per week in a fast-paced, trend-focused environment
  • Are fluent in English with excellent grammar
  • Bonus: Familiarity with SEO, WordPress, Trello, and Google Trends
  • Can provide 1–3 relevant writing samples in the sports or celebrity news space
