Freelance Automotive Writer

Guessing Headlights is seeking a freelance writer to create automotive features, buyer’s guides, comparisons, opinion pieces, reviews, and list-based articles for an audience of car enthusiasts and everyday drivers.

We’re looking for someone with personality and strong opinions. Someone who gets excited about value, appreciates the underdog, and understands that the most interesting cars aren’t always the most obvious choices.

We’re looking for people who know what cars are slept on, what’s criminally ignored, and where the real value is. People who can explain why enthusiasts should care about a vehicle everyone else overlooks and who aren’t afraid to challenge conventional wisdom.

We’re especially interested in writers who can spot opportunities where others don’t. Whether it’s an enthusiast bargain, a future collectible, a modification-friendly platform, or a vehicle that delivers far more than most people realize, we’re looking for people who can identify value and explain it to readers.

Coverage areas may include enthusiast vehicles, used car values, modifications, ownership experiences, performance cars, automotive culture, reliability, maintenance, grassroots motorsports, off-roading, collector vehicles, and the automotive marketplace.

Requirements:

• Must be located in the United States
• Strong writing and storytelling skills
• Demonstrated knowledge of automobiles and automotive culture
• Ability to develop original article ideas and unique perspectives
• Strong understanding of vehicle value, ownership, and enthusiast trends
• Ability to meet deadlines and communicate professionally

Additional Information:

• All submitted work must be written by the author. AI-generated articles, AI rewrites, and AI-assisted content are not accepted.
• Writers should be comfortable conducting research and verifying facts using reputable sources.

Compensation: Starting at $30+/hour, depending on experience and expertise.

Please include several relevant writing samples with your application. Direct links to published work are preferred.

In 2–3 sentences, tell us what vehicle you think is criminally ignored and why.
