The Watercraft Journal Is Seeking Fresh Freelance Writers


Love jet skis? Enjoy writing? Want some spending dough?

If you answered yes to all three of those questions, The Watercraft Journal wants to talk with you.

Heck, if you answered yes to even one of those questions, and would like the opportunity to explore the other two, we’d still love to talk with you.

The Watercraft Journal has no plans to deviate from its industry-leading daily (Monday-through-Friday) publishing schedule, and because of that, I am actively seeking self-motivated, dedicated freelancer writer(s) and/or PWC enthusiasts to inform, advise and even entertain our ever-growing readership.

Ideally, WCJ freelancers will have a strong interest in the personal watercraft (PWC) industry on either the racing or the recreational side (or both), and a familiarity with the terminology, technology and players, but writers that can pick up quickly on the details and culture of the PWC community are encouraged to apply.

Likewise, WCJ freelance writers should be knowledgeable writers, with the ability to turn a phrase, the understanding of journalistic principles and practices, and strong self-editing and proofing skills. However, racers (and families and crew members), fans, recreational riders and industry experts with the ability to follow through on assignments and an interest in learning the art and craft of writing are also strongly encouraged to apply. 

Freelance writers are 1099 subcontractors and will be paid twice a month per a predetermined scale for each written article. Workload is flexible depending on your schedule, but commitment to completing accepted assignments on deadline is essential. 

For more information, please send an introductory cover letter and a resume to [email protected].
