What is a guest author?

Guest authors are writers who contribute content, such as articles or blog posts, to a publication or website that is not their own. They typically provide unique perspectives, expertise, or experiences on a given topic. Guest authorship allows writers to reach new audiences and helps the host site offer diverse content. In many cases, guest authors are credited for their work and may include a brief bio or link back to their own website. This arrangement is often mutually beneficial for both the author and the host publication.

How does a guest author typically collaborate with in-house editorial teams during the publishing process?

As a Guest Author, you will frequently communicate with in-house editors to align on content guidelines, tone, and publication schedules. You'll often submit drafts for review, incorporate feedback, and work closely to ensure your piece fits the publication's standards. This collaborative process may also involve discussions about headline selection, visual elements, and SEO optimization. Regular check-ins and openness to editorial suggestions are key to a successful partnership.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a guest author, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Guest Author, you need strong writing skills, subject matter expertise, and a portfolio of published work or relevant academic qualifications. Familiarity with content management systems, SEO tools, and style guides like APA or Chicago is often required. Adaptability, creativity, and effective communication help differentiate standout contributors. These skills and qualities ensure content is engaging, accurate, and tailored to the target audience, thereby enhancing both the author's and the publication's reputation.

Podcaster and Content Creator - Psychology Today

Psychology Today

Manhattan, NY • On-site, Remote

$4.5K/mo

Part-time, Contractor

Re-posted 12 days ago


Job description

Psychology Today is launching a new interview-style podcast exploring psychology, behavioral science, and the broader culture. We're looking for someone to serve as the show's podcaster. This is a rare opportunity to shape a new editorial product from the ground up, with real creative latitude over how the show sounds, looks, and grows.
The ideal candidate can develop, schedule and lead conversations with guests, with an eye for strong topics, on-air chemistry and what makes social media packaging/clipping of material across PT's many social media platforms.
Note: A Psychology Today staff editor will occasionally co-host or step in as host for select episodes.
Responsibilities
Hosting & Editorial
  • Research topics, prepare questions, and plan/outline episodes
  • Bring sharp editorial judgment and creative initiative to pitch and shape new episode ideas and formats
  • Identify, research, and book guests (bloggers, subject-matter experts, researchers)
  • Prepare for each episode - background research, question development, brief pre-interview calls with guests
  • Maintain an organized, visible guest pipeline/calendar (upcoming guests, topics, scheduling status)

Requirements
  • Demonstrated podcasting experience - please share platforms, shows, or projects you've built, hosted, or produced
  • Strong writing and editing fundamentals; familiarity with SEO and content management systems to maximize the reach of show notes.
  • Comfortable and engaging on camera/mic.
  • A background in behavioral science, translational science writing, or clinical/research psychology is a strong plus; an individual with strong journalistic experience is also welcome to apply
  • Collaborate with producer/editors on episode direction and quality, but they are not responsible for editing or technical production.

To apply, please send a brief cover letter that:
  1. Characterizes the editorial content delivered by the Psychology Today expert authors on the homepage, and share who/if anyone you'd reach out to as a possible guest. Please share names of expert authors/bloggers whom you considered and why you landed on the individual you're pitching at this time. Please include a brief overview of how you'd approach the conversation, including several kick-off questions.
  2. Describes your experience with podcasting - platforms, shows, or projects you've hosted, produced, or contributed to (please include links/samples)
  3. Add Video links.

Benefits
Contract position, no benefits. $4500+/month, based on weekly episode cadence (~4 episodes/month) plus ongoing guest-booking responsibilities.
