Submitted by Laura Garcia on 15 March 2018 - 2:40pm

The BuzzFeed Fellowship is a three-month programme for aspiring writers, editors, and content creators eager to master the tools and techniques of the social web.

We are especially interested in hearing from writers who:

  • have a proven background in writing about parenting; or food; or nostalgia;
  • have illustration experience;
  • have an interest in working across multiple social platforms.

Over the course of the programme you will learn how to create shareable social content. This includes writing and editing posts tailored to BuzzFeed's audience, and exploring how people share on Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Pinterest, and other social sites. Buzzfeed are looking to hire a small group of fellows for a three month period —  these will be paid positions based in our London office. At the end of the fellowship they hope to hire one fellow in a full-time position as a Staff Writer!!!!!! Interested? Get more info here.
