Journo Jobs

The Muse is looking for writers

The Muse is looking for more pitches as they continue to expand their coverage. They’re looking for reported features, essays, perspectives, even humor pieces (and yes, some advice articles) that shed light, provide insight, reframe, and capture zeitgeist at a moment when careers, work, and culture are shifting and evolving.

We’d love to see more ideas for reported features as well as pitches with day job–driven angles (and fewer on freelancing/why you went freelance).
