Embarcadero Media Foundation, an award-winning, independent nonprofit media company on the San Francisco Peninsula, is looking for freelance writers with excellent feature writing skills, storytelling flair and well-honed journalistic instincts to work with editors on its lifestyle desk.

Writing assignments cover everything from profiles and event roundups to Q&As and features, with subjects including food, culture, arts and entertainment, real estate, home and garden, outdoors and the environment. Freelancers are also encouraged to pitch story ideas based on their areas of expertise and knowledge of San Mateo and Santa Clara counties (up to but not including San Jose southward).
