About Us

How-to Geek is one of the largest technology publications on the web today. We aim to equip all readers, whether they’re newcomers to tech or seasoned veterans, with the tools they need to make the most of their technology.

We simplify complex topics into guides that anyone can understand, whether they’re looking for a list of great apps, need help fixing an issue, or want a product recommendation. Every article leaves the reader with something valuable to take away.

Our target audience are everyday consumers who are interested in tech; we write for the lay-people, not industry insiders. For example, our readers are the "Should You Upgrade to a Wi-Fi 7 Router?" crowd. Not the "Wi-Fi 7 Routers Will Usher In the IoT Market Penetration Shift" crowd.

We’re looking for people with expertise in writing content specifically with a passion for covering news and feature gaming content. If you have a love for this, we want to hear from you!

Job Responsibilities

• Ability to contribute reliably and consistently (news and features)under tight deadlines.
• Willing to input work into our in-house CMS, as well as find and format images, according to our guidelines.
• Stay up to date on the latest tech news, products and updates.
• Coordinate with the editorial team for assignments and feedback.

Application Requirements

• CV
• Cover Letter (tell us why you want to write for us!)
• 2-3 tech articles you've written that demonstrate your writing abilities (*Gamingcontent mandatory!)

Applicants must have a self-starter attitude and possess the following requirements:

• Relevant experience in writing and editing in the English language.
• Ability to think analytically; applauding or criticizing aspects of the news source.
• Expert knowledge and broad familiarity of gaming history and culture.

The hiring team at How-to Geek will get back to you as soon as possible if we think you'd make a solid addition to the team. Only applications containing relevant writing samples will be considered.
