Description
Guns.com is currently looking for freelance writers who can write interesting and insightful copy about guns, gun-related products, the firearm industry, and gun commerce.
If you don't know about Guns.com, we are an online firearms publication read by hundreds of thousands of people a month and our readership stretches around the globe. We have working relationships with major manufacturers such as Springfield, Beretta, Ruger, S&W, Kahr, and more. And our creditability has been affirmed by major publications such as NRA News, New York Times, Chicago Tribune, and more.
Candidates must have an expansive knowledge on all things guns. You must prove to have an advanced and intimate understanding of product trends (past, present, and future), industry projections, and a proven track record that you live and breathe guns.
We're not looking for someone who just rattles off empty marketing terms, specs or propaganda, we're looking for someone who can provide an actual analysis. The candidate needs strong research skills, journalistic insight and, most importantly, an authoritative writerly voice.
This gun writer will have to be able to write articles and reviews such as:
-Best five (rifles, handguns, shotguns) under $500 and why
-Why .38 Special is the ultimate self-defense round
-Gas operated vs Gas piston operated ARs
-New rifles of 2011 that are worth a damn
(You get the idea)
This is a remote freelance position. Guns.com has a pay-per-article structure with competitive rates. In return, writers are expected work with editors in brainstorming ideas, research topics thoroughly, and submit one to two articles a week.
