Cultural Correspondent

For better of worse Scallywag and Vagabond is a very much lauded media company with a worldwide audience. Many of our writers write for reputable media outlets including Vanity Fair, True Slant, Huffington Post, NY Mag, Rolling Stone. Conversely many of our articles have been featured by many of these same journals.

Scallywag and Vagabond is always on the look out for exceptional writers, who have demonstrated uncanny ability to digest a scene and promulgate provocation, wit, and the occasional faux pas.

Please be warned we are very discerning when it comes to bringing on writers and primarily look for a certain "Je ne sais quoi" that will separate you from most candidates.

If you come to write for us, expect to turn up to charity functions on our behalf, art parties, salons, the Bryant Park fashion collections, the most happening and exclusive parties, affairs in NYC, and the occasional jaunt to the French consulate or punk rock venue. You should also within time expect to interview celebrated members of society, famous and accomplished.

You should also be aware that we do not offer our new writers any pay. Please when applying also offer samples of published written work, your interests, passions, favorite sites, and what you believe the role of an artist/writer is. I will not answer your email if you don't take the time to do this much.

Unlike most journals, I am open to dissenting points of view, and if we like you, will provide you an ongoing forum. We are a thinking person's tabloid/cultural journal.

I look forward from hearing from you.

Christopher Koulouris,

Editor in Chief,

Scallywag and Vagabond

UsefulVendors.com is a newly launched B2B review site where customers write reviews about their vendors. It's all about information sharing – businesses owners helping other businesses owners by sharing their experiences. We imagine that there are a lot of interesting stories in those experiences and we're looking for a great storyteller (based on facts, of course).

Not only will you write the story, but you'll also have to go find the story. So that means sourcing and reporting on it.

The stories will be published on the UsefulVendor blog, but you should be hip to social media and not shy about spreading your great stories throughout relevant online media outlets.

This can be your forum - you get credit for the pieces you write and can brand the blog around your identity.

If this opportunity sounds too good to be true, then it might be, because it's unpaid (open to discussion on a small stipend). However, advertising revenue sharing opportunity is definitely on the table as your great stories bring more traffic.
