About.com is looking for freelance writers!
The About.com Contributing Writers program was created to help us cover topics that may not be broad enough for a full GuideSite. Contributing Writers work alongside our Guides, covering specific subtopics that fall within the larger topic areas of our GuideSites. They are responsible for producing a certain amount of content (articles or blog posts) per month on that subtopic. They are not responsible for managing or maintaining a full GuideSite.
We are currently evaluating candidates to write on the following topics:
- GuideSite: Football Subtopic: Playing and coaching
- GuideSite: Antiques Subtopic: Antique Furniture
- GuideSite: Single Parents Subtopic: Legal Issues
- GuideSite: Manhattan Subtopic: Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender Scene
- GuideSite: Parenting Teens Subtopic: At-Risk Teens
- GuideSite: HTML / Web Design Subtopic: XML
- GuideSite: Africa Travel Subtopic: South Africa Travel
- GuideSite: Women's History Subtopic: Feminism in the 1960s and 1970s.
