Fatherly is looking for an Editorial Fellow. This person would work at least 20 hours a week, ideally more at $18/hour, for about three months. They would respond to breaking news on child care and paid leave alongside other relevant policy for millennial parents, as well as report on the subjects. The ideal candidate would be someone who is comfortable with policy/politics writing who can pitch and write one to two stories a day, several days a week. This fellow would also have the opportunity to work with other section editors on larger scale pieces for their portfolio.

While someone with relevant experience would be great, we've had great success with writers of nontraditional experience who want to expand their skillset and learn how to write news on a quick deadline with a keen eye towards the brand, who they are writing the stories for, and with a strong knack for language and clean copy.

In addition to having a strong command of language, they should be able to reliably source and fact check their own work as well as discuss story angles and frameworks with their assigning editor. If you or someone you know is interested, please send a resume, 1-2 relevant clips, and a brief cover letter to Lizzy Francis and Tyghe Trimble at lizzy.francis@bdg.com and tyghe.trimble@bdg.com.
