Job description

Salary Payment per commissioned piece, depending on length and complexity.

Studyo London is looking for emerging writers, researchers, and content strategists to contribute to a growing body of editorial work exploring contemporary culture, design, digital life, and creative movements through a sharp, poetic, and critical lens. This is a paid, project-based opportunity offered on a freelance basis.

We commission standalone essays, interviews, research pieces, and experimental editorials that go beyond the surface — diving into cultural subtext, exploring lived experience, and articulating overlooked narratives. Each commissioned contributor will be supported by our editorial team to develop distinctive, genre-fluid pieces that respond to our evolving editorial themes.

Key responsibilities include:

• Writing original and reflective work that merges personal insight with cultural analysis.
• Conducting cultural and trend research to support concept development.
• Collaborating with Studyo’s editorial and creative teams on tone, format, and structure.
• Contributing to a multidisciplinary conversation spanning art, performance, fashion, architecture, design, music, identity, and digital culture.

We particularly welcome voices that explore the margins—writers with fresh ways of seeing and naming the world, especially those whose work resonates with underrepresented or fragmented forms of experience.

Skills and Experience Required

• A strong interest in cultural writing, editorial experimentation, and storytelling across disciplines.
• Ability to write clearly, imaginatively, and analytically.
• Comfort working with abstract themes, personal narrative, or emerging cultural ideas.
• Experience with writing blog posts, essays, interviews, or zine-style content (published or unpublished).
• A collaborative spirit and openness to feedback from the editorial team.
• Excellent organisational and communication skills.

No prior paid experience is required—we encourage applications from students and recent graduates with a demonstrable interest in writing, media, and cultural research.
