Arts and culture contributors — Adventure newsletter

Are you looking for a writing opportunity AND a chance to show your love of Kansas City?

KCUR 89.3 is searching for new writers to contribute to our popular Adventure! email newsletter.

Each week, Adventure! brings readers new ways to explore the Kansas City region. We’re looking for witty, curious, fun-loving people with deep knowledge of the area, who can help others discover the city’s hidden gems and reconnect with its iconic places. We welcome specialists whose interests are idiosyncratic and unique, as well as generalists who can write authoritatively on a range of topics.

This is a really great opportunity for freelance writers (or aspiring freelance writers) to add KCUR to their portfolios, while showing off your knowledge and appreciation of your city.

We especially welcome submissions from writers of color and from underrepresented communities. If you’ve never listened to KCUR or public radio before, we definitely hope you apply.

Collaborating with KCUR’s newsletter team, you’ll pitch ideas, participate in brainstorming and planning sessions, and research and write newsletters on a mutually agreeable timeline.

We’re looking for people with strong writing skills (journalism experience is great, but not necessary!) who are comfortable with digital platforms, can take direction, and are able to work collaboratively. Some photography skills are also helpful.

You must also share KCUR’s commitment to serving all communities in the region and to fostering a positive and welcoming work environment.

Payment is $150-200 per piece, depending on the specific workload.

To apply, send an email with the subject line ADVENTURE to freelance@kcur.org. Please attach a resume and three samples of writing (published or not) that show off what you can do.
