Job description

About the Role

We are seeking a thoughtful, collaborative writer to help expand content output while preserving the authentic, compassionate voice of our client.

This is a unique opportunity for a writer who thrives on transforming spoken interviews and research into accessible, empowering, and emotionally resonant content. You’ll work closely with the founder, often turning transcripts of interviews with doctors, researchers, and survivors into narrative-driven newsletters and companion social media content.

Scope and Duration

• Commitment: 45 hours/month to start, with potential to increase
  
• Duration: 6 months
  
• Location: Remote (must overlap with Mountain Time Zone hours)
  
  

Responsibilities

• Write and edit 2–3 email newsletters per week (typically 500–1,000 words), derived from transcripts, audio recordings, or video content
• Conduct research and find interesting healing modalities and stories from cancer patients who healed their cancer in alternative ways (we don’t care how they did it, we just verify that it happened).
  
• Develop accompanying Twitter/LinkedIn posts (1–2 per newsletter) that engage audiences and drive traffic back to the newsletter
  
• Collaborate directly with the founder in an iterative process, incorporating strategic feedback with minimal friction
  
• Conduct light research on alternative therapies, protocols, and supporting studies (especially via PubMed)
  
• Maintain a tone that’s warm, clear, and grounded—avoiding jargon while still delivering substance
  
• Optionally support book manuscript development and blog content for related brands
  
• If capable, collaborate with a designer or provide light formatting/graphic guidance to elevate article presentation
  
  

You Have

• Exceptional writing skills—especially in editorial-style newsletters, digital storytelling, and audience engagement
  
• Empathetic communication skills, with the ability to write for overwhelmed, non-medical readers facing a cancer diagnosis
  
• Comfort with translating medical or technical transcripts into digestible, emotionally intelligent prose
  
• Experience writing from video/audio inputs and adapting voice and tone across channels
  
• A strong collaboration ethic—welcomes feedback and works well in close 1:1 content development
  
• The ability to create metaphor-rich, narrative-driven content without sacrificing clarity or factual grounding
  
  

Nice to Have

• Familiarity with alternative medicine, holistic health, or patient advocacy
  
• Light graphic design or content formatting experience (e.g., Canva, Loom visuals)
