As mobile technology grows and expands, so does our coverage. We’re looking for experienced, professional, and knowledgeable freelance writers to help take our mobile content to the next level.

What We’re Looking For

We’re looking for experienced writers to help cover news and editorial explainers related to mobile technology. The ideal candidate will be well versed in Android, Chrome OS, iOS, and wearable technology, though we don’t expect you to be an expert in all of those categories—having a “specialty” is fine, but you must be willing to learn and write about all mobile tech.

This is a freelance position where you’ll be responsible for writing news topics that are assigned to you in a quick and timely manner, while focusing on finding that unique How-to Geek angle—we explain complex topics in a way that are clear and easy to understand, and expect nothing less from our news coverage.

In other words, we’re not looking for someone to rehash the same news that everyone else is sharing—we’re looking for that unique angle that helps people make sense of what’s happening with each particular piece of news.

To summarize, ideal writers will possess the following qualities:

  • Morning availability will be preferred for news writers (we’re operating on US time here)—most news hits before noon, so being able to stay ahead of the curve is important.

To give you an idea of what’s expected, here are a couple examples of the type of work we’re looking for:

How to Apply

Send an email to with the subject Mobile Writer, and include the following in your email:

  • Your name and location.
  • Any previous experience you have with writing and/or blogging, particularly related to this specific beat.
  • A brief overview of the topics you are familiar with, and what operating systems/computers you have access to.
  • Most Importantly: We want a writing sample. If you have previous writing to showcase, particularly relevant news pieces that you’re proud of, include a link to it in your email. If you have a personal blog, a forum account, or a commenter account from anywhere, feel free to include that as well.
