Android Police - Features Writer
About The Position
Android Police is expanding its freelance roster and hiring multiple experienced features writers to deliver sharp, authoritative stories across the Android universe. You’ll pitch and produce original, reader-obsessed narratives—deep dives, hands-on experiments, timely takes—that power our site, social channels, and newsletters. We cover Android phones, tablets, and apps; smart home devices and ecosystems; Amazon Fire tablets, Fire TV, and Kindle lineup; E Ink hardware (e-readers, note-takers, displays); Android OS updates, features, and hidden tricks; and productivity apps and workflows. This is a freelance contract with a minimum set of published stories per month. The role is pitch-driven, requiring strong pitches weekly. Quick-response availability is needed for same-day or next-day pieces on breaking news, OS drops, or viral trends. The content is 100% editorial, with no commerce, affiliate, or sponsored content. The role involves a mix of formats, including first-person pieces, reported features, how-tos, and analysis.
