18 Full Time & Remote Jobs for Writers

Dear Writers,

Here’s our latest roundup of traditional jobs for writers and editors.

As the economy in the States continues to re-open, one of the big questions has been whether or not remote jobs will continue to be common. Based on this list, which includes a high proportion of remote jobs, it seems that the opportunities to work remotely are continuing.

This could be due to relatively low vaccination rates in parts of the U.S., or because of a structural change in how companies manage employees. Most of the fully remote jobs here are with relatively newer companies and publications that exist solely online.

Companies in this list include Twitter, CNN,CBS,  Buzzfeed, and more.
