Embarcadero Media Freelance Reporter – Features

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).

The publications for which freelancers write include The Six Fifty, Peninsula Foodist and the Home & Real Estate publication. Content will also be featured in the Palo Alto Weekly, Redwood City Pulse, Mountain View Voice and The Almanac, as well as in weekly newsletters and newspapers.

Freelance writers need to be reliable, independent, sharp, communicative and able to meet deadlines without exception. Some journalism experience and residency in the Bay Area is preferred. Pay rates depend upon experience and the type of assignment.

Interested applicants should email a resume, cover letter and 3-5 of your best clips to lifestyle@embarcaderopublishing.com. Please note in your letter if there is a particular publication for which you'd like to write or subject(s)/cities you're interested in writing about.
