Phoenix New Times is looking for freelance writers to help cover the local arts and culture scene.
Stories about visual arts, performing arts, and TV and movies are integral to our coverage, but we're open to much more, including articles about outdoor recreation, metro Phoenix history, shopping, architecture and design, events, and hobbies. We're particularly interested in stories that reflect our current COVID-19 reality and examine the ways that people are consuming culture now.
We're looking for writers who will pitch their own story ideas, take photos (smartphones are okay), and be open to assignments from New Times culture editor Jennifer Goldberg. Reliability and the ability to meet deadlines are crucial. Please email links to published articles and/or unpublished writing samples and a few story ideas about local culture to jennifer.goldberg@newtimes.com.

Keep Phoenix New Times Free... Since we started Phoenix New Times, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Phoenix, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Phoenix with no paywalls.
