WIRED is calling for strong, original pitches from culture writers who understand how the internet shapes how we live, date, argue, and entertain ourselves. This is a solid opportunity for Kenyan writers searching for high-paying international writing jobs, especially those who consistently pitch culture features, tech stories, and internet-trend articles.

Manisha Krishnan is interested in bold, surprising, even slightly chaotic angles — the kind of culture writing that cuts through noise and explains the next big thing before it hits Nairobi timelines. If you specialize in deep reporting, digital culture analysis, or tech-human stories, this is a clean fit.

What They’re Looking For:
Smart, well-researched culture features that break new ground; original reporting; strong POV on internet culture, dating apps, tech behaviors, gaming communities, and viral moments. Writers who can connect global trends with human stories stand out here.
