At Home Job: Freelance Movie Writers



Movies.com is looking for experienced freelance feature writers.

Requirements:


Min. 5 years experience writing or blogging for a major publication or website (sorry, your own personal blog doesn’t count, and no college students/recent grads please)

Have a distinctive "voice" and writing style (bonus points for being funny)

Knowledge of movies past and present

Excellent communication skills

Deadline-oriented

Easy to work with, easily reachable.

Compensation is negotiable but competitive.

If interested, they ask that you submit your resume, a brief cover letter that shows off your style and substance, and three of your best writing samples (links or attachments). Also, answer these three questions:

1. Name 1 underrated and 1 overrated movie and in one line tell us why.
2. What are your favorite movie websites?
3. Tweak this generic story idea to make it unique: The Top 10 Movies of All Time

Email the above to

stacie.hougland@fandango.com with subject line MDC WRITER.

Good Luck!
