Job Description

LoveToKnow Media is a fast-growing digital media company with a diverse family of websites, such as YourDictionary.com, a best-in-class dictionary, grammar and reference site, and LovetoKnow.com, which aims to help people solve problems, get advice, and find expert information. We are currently looking for a staff writer to join our editorial content team.

We are looking for writers with solid experience and knowledge of grammar, literacy, and education, preferably at the high school or college level. This means education and/or work experience that is directly related to these areas, not just experience as a writer. Maybe you’re an educator who has taught varied subjects and has a penchant for punctuation, or a writer with a teaching degree who can tell an aphorism from an arthropod. We want a writer who can create accessible, informative content covering a wide range of grammatical and educational topics for learners of all ages.
