Position #1: Copywriter
We are currently looking for talented writers to join our team.
Our writers are responsible for creating amazing show notes that convince listeners to tune in. Show notes should capture the essence of what an episode is teaching without giving all the biggest gems away.
Our show notes are written with a bit of flair and match the host’s voice and style. They also give a quick snapshot into the episode’s highlights. And they provide links to all the major people, books, websites, and other resources that are mentioned in the episode, so listeners can carry on learning if they really love what they’ve heard.
Above all, show notes should be one thing: enticing! And of course, free of any big grammatical or spelling mistakes. 😄
This role starts with three assigned shows per week. Episodes are between 15 minutes and 1 hour in length. We are looking for someone who wants to grow with us and take on more.
