SEEKING FREELANCER CURATOR(S)/EDITOR(S) - Remote
Cooper Press (<a href="https://cooperpress.com/" >) is a UK-based publisher of weekly e-mail newsletters to over 130,000 software developers - titles include JavaScript Weekly, HTML5 Weekly, and Ruby Weekly.
We're seeking new editors and curators of programming and tech links for developers (we are also branching out beyond that over time). You should have experience with content creation or curation at even a minor level (e.g. blogging, long term tweeting, link curating, writing a book) and be confident with terse, to-the-point written English with the ability to edit titles and write summaries of technical articles and open source projects.
We're looking for multiple curators in various (and general) areas and there are no fixed hours (but 2-6 hours per week would be typical). Please note this is not a $100+/hour engineering role - no development work is involved. However, we don't pay peanuts either and endeavor to be flexible and respectful to your requirements and schedule. This sort of role works very well alongside a full time job for some of our existing editors and can be a way to turn aimless Web reading and researching into a profitable hobby(!) :-) We are particularly keen for folks with experience with Node, the Web Platform/HTML5, and popular science right now.
To register an interest, e-mail REDACTED_EMAIL with any evidence of your curation or publishing endeavors to date, the topic areas you're best equipped to cover (even if we don't currently cover them - we're expanding our range quickly), and your time or financial requirements, as relevant. I'll personally acknowledge the receipt of every mail.
