Full time / Remote
Staff Writer
We are looking for a writer who can cover multiple categories with equal confidence and curiosity. You do not need a specialism. You need range, a strong voice, and the ability to find the interesting angle in anything.
Freelance / Per piece
Contributing Writer
We commission pieces from writers whose work we admire and whose curiosity matches ours. If you have a story worth telling and the writing to back it up, we want to hear from you. A specific pitch, strong writing samples, and a genuine interest in covering something worth covering is all we need.
Part time / Remote
Editor
We are looking for an editor who makes writing better without making it sound like someone else wrote it. Someone with a sharp eye, strong instincts, and the patience to work through a piece properly. Experience editing long form editorial work is essential. A good sense of when to leave something alone is equally important.
Shoot your shot
Do not see your role here?
If none of these fits but you think you belong at Commonplace, send us something anyway. A pitch, a piece, a note about what you do and why you want to be here. We read everything.
The Commonplace letter
Written for people who still read properly.
We send when we have something worth saying. Which is often enough to be worth signing up for.
