Remote Freelance Writer (Teen-Friendly Topics)

Make Every Story Matterโ€”Join as a Remote Freelance Writer

Do you believe the written word can spark change, confidence, and curiosityโ€”especially for teens? As a Remote Freelance Writer specializing in teen-friendly topics, youโ€™ll craft engaging, relatable content that informs, empowers, and inspires. Your words wonโ€™t just fill pagesโ€”theyโ€™ll ignite conversations, spark self-confidence, and help young readers find their unique place in todayโ€™s ever-evolving digital world. If you thrive on turning trending ideas into meaningful narratives, this is your space to shine.

What Youโ€™ll Create and Influence

Writers here donโ€™t simply follow briefsโ€”they shape the voice of platforms read by thousands of teens every day. Expect to:

  • Transform pop culture trends, life advice, and social issues into fresh, authentic stories that resonate with teens.
  • Produce guides, personal essays, listicles, and how-to pieces that answer real questions teens have about identity, relationships, mental health, and more.
  • Balance entertainment and depthโ€”bringing fun, empathy, and actionable insights to every article.
  • Use audience feedback to refine future topics and deepen your connection with readers.
  • Introduce new formats (polls, interactive posts, visuals) that foster participation and boost engagement.
  • Research whatโ€™s trending on social media and blend those sparks into content that feels current and credible.

How Your Words Shape Our Mission

Every published piece is an opportunity to champion honest conversations, amplify the voices of underrepresented teenagers, and foster a safe space for self-expression. Your writing may:

  • Encourage open discussions around body image, peer pressure, and mental wellness.
  • Help teens build digital literacy, from navigating online friendships to protecting privacy on new platforms.
  • Motivate personal growth by sharing tips for goal setting, self-care routines, and academic success.
  • Create safe spaces for Q&As, advice columns, and reader-submitted stories.

Your Collaborative Environment

This role is remote, designed for flexibility, creativity, and a real-life balance. Youโ€™ll:

  • Partner with editors and fellow writers through tools like Slack, Trello, and Google Docs to brainstorm topics and polish drafts.
  • Attend virtual workshops or feedback sessions that sharpen your skills, bolster your writing, and enhance your confidence in your voice.
  • Set your own work rhythm, focusing intensely on each piece without feeling rushed.
  • Contribute to a positive and supportive culture where new ideas are celebrated and every win is shared.

Tools and Tech Stack

Your toolkit keeps everything organized, collaborative, and efficient:

  • Google Docs for seamless drafting and editing
  • Slack for lively team chats, brainstorming, and sharing memes that make the workday lighter
  • Trello or Asana to manage assignments and track project progress

  • Naturally curious about youth culture, current events, and whatโ€™s top-of-mind for Gen Z and Gen Alpha
  • Able to simplify complex ideasโ€”whether itโ€™s over a video call or in a single punchy headline
  • Unafraid to tackle sensitive topics with compassion, accuracy, and a sense of responsibility
  • Creative, organized, and open to feedbackโ€”willing to experiment, learn, and grow
  • Comfortable balancing multiple assignments and adapting to shifting priorities
  • Committed to championing inclusivity, diversity, and real representation

Qualifications & Experience
