Steady assignments. Reliable pay. Food Republic is seeking freelance writers who live and breathe all things food and drink—whether it’s decoding the hottest culinary trends, serving up kitchen wisdom, or dishing out the latest industry news with flavor and flair.
You should have at least three years of professional writing experience, ideally covering food or lifestyle content. We’re looking for creative, self-motivated writers ready to contribute clean, compelling features with strong sourcing and a clear point of view.
This is a remote freelance position with flexible hours and steady assignments. It is open to U.S.-based candidates only. Because our food coverage focuses on products, retailers, and restaurant chains that are specific to the United States, we’re prioritizing writers who are located in the U.S., are familiar with its grocery landscape, restaurant chains, and consumer trends, and have access to its products. Writers typically contribute to one brand, but may occasionally be asked to switch or write across multiple food brands. This opening is specifically for Food Republic, with the possibility of contributing to other brands in the future.
