📝 What They’re Looking For:
FlyerTalk is hiring freelance writers to create quick-turnaround news briefs (~300 words) about travel and aviation. Writers should be available during Pacific Time office hours and ready to cover 1–2 short pieces daily.
If you’re passionate about travel (airlines, airplanes, hotels, mileage programs), this is a solid fit. Aviation experience is a bonus, but not mandatory.
Requirements:
✅ 2+ years of writing/journalism experience
✅ Strong research and fact-checking skills
✅ Ability to write in a clear, authoritative tone
✅ Interest or knowledge in the travel industry
✅ Fast turnaround on assignments
The editors provide the story—you just bring your writing chops.

🚀 How To Get This Client:
Make sure your application shows you’re reliable and can handle fast-paced deadlines. Emphasize any travel or aviation knowledge (even if it’s from a hobbyist angle). A portfolio with news-style briefs will stand out.
💡 Pro Tip:
This gig is perfect for writers with flexible schedules who can deliver clean copy fast. But if you’ve never pitched to international editors before, get trained to sharpen your pitching and delivery game—that’s how you stay in demand.
