Do you have the passion and experience to write compellingly about a particular topic, but neither the time nor the desire to take on an entire About.com GuideSite? About.com is now looking for contributing writers who will work alongside Guides, covering specific subtopics for a GuideSite. These writers will be required to contribute a certain amount of content each month. Currently, candidates are being sought for the following topics (GuideSites for which these would be subtopics are in parentheses):
- At-Risk Teens (About Teens)
- Legal Issues (About Single Parents)
- Algebra (About Math)
- Medical/Surgical Information for Patients (About Back and Neck Pain)
- Playing and Coaching (About Football)
- Antique Furniture (About Antiques)
- Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender Scene (About Manhattan)
- XML (About HTML / Web Design)
- South Africa Travel (About Africa Travel)
- Feminism in the 1960s and 1970s (About Women's History)
If you are interested in applying for one of these positions or learning more, please email your resume and a writing sample -- both in the body of an e-mail -- to contributingwriters@about.com. Please put the topic you’re applying for in the subject line. Keep introductions concise. Good luck!
