Mothership.sg is hiring writers.

What kind? Well, we can tell you what we don’t want first.

Not two-bit bloggers with limited vocabulary.

Not boring essayists who need two days to craft an argument.

Exit stage left for bed wetters or veterans in the media industry. No has-beens. No never-do-wells.

What we want: Nimble writers who can produce quickly and accurately. Someone impatient for news yet holds back for the sake of accuracy.

Say hello if you are a inquisitive self-starter who can spot a good story from a mile away.

We are looking for a writer who can engage an audience ranging from social media addicts to casual readers of Singapore’s current affairs. If you haven’t realised, our audience wants to be entertained and informed at the same time. All the time. (We know, we know, but we love you, dear audience!)

Ideally, you live and breathe Singapore news from all media platforms online and offline.

Trends? Topics of interest? Always stay on top.

And yes, you leave your desk sometimes. When stories don’t come to you, you go to the stories.

We value succinctness. You must be able to package stories in as little words as possible to pack the most epic punch. Ever. And deliver.

So dear talented writers who are out there, overlooked and underused - we want YOU.

Note: This is not a full-time position. This is open to candidates who want to do an internship stint with us.

Hours clocked, remuneration and how many stories to file a week are all negotiable.
