Freelance Senior Copywriter

Where have all the good writers gone?

In a world where AI makes everyone a writer, it’s surprisingly hard to find talented folks who've been formally trained in the craft.

At Muse, we’re looking for a senior freelance copywriter to support our team.

Not a content creator with a voluminous following.
Not an employee moonlighting alongside an unfulfilling job.
Not someone passing the time while looking for a full-time position.

We’re seeking a professional freelance copywriter who understands:
• Messaging hierarchy
• Buyer’s journey and persona frameworks
• How to shift tone with brand personality
• Why it's important to “kill your darlings” in service of clarity

The right writer will have:
• 10+ years of agency experience
• Short- and long-form writing and editing across both B2B and B2C brands
• Curiosity to ask smart questions and go beyond the brief
• A healthy relationship with AI as a tool, not a crutch

This role begins on a project basis, with the potential to fill in while our fabulous Associate Content Director is on leave in May/June, and may evolve into an ongoing retainer if interested.

If you’re a full-time freelance writer who takes the craft seriously, please reach out! We've got a fun and talented team who would love to work with you.

Please DM me with interest, and feel free to share with friends!
