Job description

This is a paid freelance and remote position
ScreenRant is the #1 entertainment website and publishes breaking news and exclusives on blockbuster movies, TV shows, comic books, books, and other forms of entertainment.
As a worldwide leader, ScreenRant operates at a rapid pace and is always looking for experienced and passionate contributors who can create original high-quality content in a timely manner.
We are currently expanding our books coverage and looking for generalist book fans who can tackle big, broad recommendation lists and keep readers on top of what to read next.
Please note: this is not a book reviewer position. We do not publish reviews at this time. The bulk of this work - roughly 80% - is recommendation and ranking lists, with the remainder made up of book news and features. If your goal is to write critical reviews of individual titles, this role is not the right fit.
Your Responsibilities
  • Write list and feature articles in ScreenRant's house style following the training and peer mentorship period.
  • Cover current and upcoming book releases and book news.
  • Stay on top of new releases across multiple genres.
  • Brainstorm, pitch, and develop original content ideas.

  • Competitive compensation.
  • Consistent and timely payments.
  • Flexible schedule.
  • Remote freelance position to work from a location of your choice.
  • Exposure to ScreenRant's large and passionate audience, providing you an exciting opportunity to make a genuine impact.
Experience and Skills
  • Bachelor's Degree in Journalism, English Literature, or a related field/equivalent experience.
  • 2+ years of experience writing about books, or experience writing on other topics in a credible publication plus evidence of book expertise through review platforms or socials.
  • A broad working knowledge of the book and publishing landscape as a generalist reader - comfortable writing broad lists and recommendations rather than covering a single niche.
  • Reads across science fiction/fantasy AND at least one other major genre. Readers who stay within a single genre (e.g. only romance, only horror, or only literary fiction) are not a fit for this role.
  • Actively keeps up with new and upcoming releases.
  • Strong, demonstrable comfort with the list format and fast turnaround times.
  • A quick learner with a strong sense of urgency and drive.
  • An excellent writer in the English language free of grammatical and spelling errors.
  • Comfortable working in a fully remote environment.
Considered an Asset
  • Freelance writing experience with comparable entertainment, pop-culture, or books publications.
  • Possesses A NetGalley account or familiarity with the platform
  • An active Bookstagram or BookTok with a significant following.
  • Participation in publisher influencer or advance-reader programs.
  • Experience in any capacity with review/tracking platforms such as BookBub, StoryGraph, Goodreads, or Fable.
