We are looking for top notch writers to write for South magazine. You should have great reporting skills, interviewing skills and a voice that reads similar to Men’s Health/Esquire/GQ, etc.

Looking for talented writers! South magazine started in 2006 as a cutting-edge publication highlighting the Creative Coast. With an emphasis on its hometown of Savannah, Georgia, it’s also distributed in Alabama, South Carolina and Florida with plans to expand its reach to more of the region. The magazine aims to provide a more visually dynamic, edgier publication than its local competitors, leading South to be recognized as an artistic periodical time and again. With an eye towards the future, South’s content focuses on breaking news presented in a hip, fun voice, and editors are always looking to differentiate the pub by challenging long-standing stereotypes. Translation? You won’t find recipes for fried chicken or features on kitschy décor in this publication.

You’ll be a stellar reporter, know just the right questions to ask in an interview, have ideas flowing through your head all the time and have a voice that’s edgy and quick.
