Imaginas Creativo is looking for Interview / Profile Writers and First Person Essay Writers and Editors for both BABYMAMALOVE and Moda Morphos 33. Please note: These are both paid opportunities.

Interview & Profile Writers:
Babymamalove.com:
We are in the midst of launching our editorial members-only bulletins and editorial portals covering: fashion & beauty; home; baby & child: mind, body, spirit; yoga; travel; culture: movies, film, tv, music; and our literary portal as well which will feature first person essays, poetry, in depth profiles and interviews.

We are looking for interview/profile writers for all of the above categories. Please specify which you would like to specialize in and interview for, as well as in which areas you already have experience.

Writers - both men and women, mothers and non-mothers, parents and singletons - who have personal BLOGS and have journalism, writing, publishing or relevant experience HAVE AN ADVANTAGE for this post. We are looking for those who can find first person essays, great voices, and cultivate a working group of writers in an editorial role, and for those who would like to regularly contribute first person essays in various topics.

Interview Writers: Our interviews will mostly be in Q & A format with opportunity to lead in and end with setting description and personal perspective, but know that the main focus is on allowing the person being interviewed to speak in their own words. Your role is to be a great editor and shape those quotes and that interview in the end, more than actually writing it. Profiles, on the other hand, are shorter (500 or less words) and require more interviewing/profile skills. Only those who are well versed in approaching pr companies and people for interviews and have the professional journalistic experience need apply for the Profile Writer post.

Moda Morphos 33:
MM33 is a fashion portal for writers, students, editors and professionals already in fashion. We are looking for those who wish to write first person essays, edit them and write interviews - everything revolves around the fashion world. If you have experience and knowledge getting interviews and writing them, that’s a plus. An awareness of protocol and an innate charm goes a long way in this process. Please do not apply for this post if you dream of being an interview writer - we need writers who already have the experience on some level. (Dreamers can apply for other fashion writing posts however ;-) We are in the midst of relaunching and redesigning our editorial content and site, there are wonderful opportunities available.
