Write Jobs: Freelance writing, Fire Rocket Concepts (busienss ...

Fire-Rocket Concepts is looking for freelance writers to produce articles related to small-and-medium sized business and tech/security topics. Pay is $300/article. Word count = 500-600 words.

HERE?S THE RUB: We?re looking for IT professionals and/or tech writers who can put a human voice to subjects that are admittedly somewhat dry and robotic by nature. This isn?t a technical writing position. We need content that is engaging, shareable and up to speed with current trends and news. Again, the importance of your ability to speak like a human (and engage other humans) on these topics cannot be overstated.

WRITERS WILL NEED TO EXHIBIT THE FOLLOWING:

? An ability to successfully write for a specified target audience (writers will be provided with research info for each article)

? Familiarity with things like endpoint protection solutions, online and mobile security risks, and general pain points felt by SMBs, even ahead-of-the-curve information

? An ability to research and synthesize information succinctly -- in about 600 words

? A good sense of humor and just the right level of irreverence that can engage and entertain a business/corporate audience without insulting them. Sophos, TechCrunch and Gizmodo are good examples of the tone we're looking for (minus the swearing).

? A background/appreciation for any or all things tech is mandatory

? An excellent grasp of grammar, spelling, syntax, punctuation, etc. (familiarity with the AP Stylebook is preferred)

? Unfailing dedication to meeting deadlines

To apply, please send a brief bio, along with resume/CV and any relevant links/writing samples.
