Insider Inc. is looking for freelance science writers

The science section of INSIDER and Business Insider is looking for reporters interested in contributing stories on a freelance basis.

We're working to build a network of reliable and talented freelance writers, and we're especially interested in reporters with experience covering weather, the environment, and space. Our style is smart, conversational, exciting, and geared toward a general audience.

We welcome pitches, though we also send a list of story ideas out on a weekly basis for our freelance writers to claim. Contributors can take on as many or as few stories as they'd like, pending final assignment and approval.

Each completed piece is priced on a sliding scale based on the writer's experience level, photos used, subject matter of the story, length, turnaround time, and other factors, and is negotiable.

If you're interested in participating in our freelance program, please send a resume and 3-5 clips to: insider-freelance@thisisinsider.com.

Please also specify your particular area of science expertise if applicable, as well as any other relevant experience you think we should know about.
