Short Article Writer

We are a Toronto-based translation firm, seeking a writer to craft short (about 250 words), pertinent articles based on global current events, giving them a strong “translation-focused” spin.

We need someone with an eye on the news who is capable of picking out the items that deal with cultural interaction (political dealings, racism, and immigration), language laws, and major entertainment news (best-sellers being translated into other languages). The successful candidate will select news items and write articles for audiences interested in translation.

Compensation is $10 per article (each should take no more than ½ hour to write)
We need 2-3 articles per week to contribute to our news feed, and the successful candidate can expect steady work at that pace indefinitely.

This position is perfect for a freelance writer seeking a steady source of work, or a journalism student interested in honing their skills.

Please submit a cover letter, résumé and two short samples of work.
