Detailed Description:
Gabb Wireless is a telecommunication company who provides safe technology and devices for kids. We are looking for three writers who can create pieces for our Parent Resource Content Library which will be featured on our website and will have the potential to impact countless families. Our company is growing rapidly and our mission resonates deeply with parents, educators, and all stakeholders who value the raising of healthy and resilient children. Our writers are tasked with creating pieces that synthesize peer-reviewed literature as it addresses all things safe tech for kids. Each piece is between 1000-2000 words and as the creator, you would also be considering visual rhetoric as we anticipate most of our readers will consume the content in mobile view. We are striving for an authoritative, academic tone, but also a voice of compassion and empathy. We are here to empower families to thrive in the digital age. The position is contract and sits at $20/hour. Writers will work remotely 10-20 hours/week and be asked to produce 2-3 articles per week. Each article will go through an editing process and will be returned for revisions as needed. The position has the potential to become more permanent as we grow. Writers would be named as authors of each piece. Next year, we hope to begin our own research, and content writers will be an integral part of that endeavor.
