Features Writer, Fabulous magazine (The Sun)
Fabulous magazine – Britain’s most-read and award-winning glossy – is looking for a brilliant Features Writer to join our busy team.
This is a fantastic opportunity and the ideal candidate will have at least two years experience on a features desk on a weekly magazine or national newspaper.
You will need to be a copy whizz, able to seek out the most elusive case study, have a good nose for newsy and relevant stories, be constantly bursting with ideas and identify trends way ahead of our rivals.
Being able to work quickly and accurately and sticking to strict deadlines is paramount.
Working closely with the Features Director, as well as regularly writing in-house copy (for online and print) for the Report, It Happened To Me, Real Life, Bodies and Relationships pages, the role also involves chasing news stories to secure exclusive interviews, commissioning features, building strong relationships with features agencies, PRs, and writers, and filling in for the Features Director when necessary.
You will also be able to whip up brilliant copy exclusively for online and come up with endless digital ideas, from listicles to videos.
The right candidate will also be highly organised and able to look after the admin of the desk, such as invoice processing and forward planning.
To apply for this position, please enclose a covering letter along with a copy of your CV, five ideas that you think would be perfect for the Fabulous features section and a critique of the latest issue by 20th July 2017.
