Narcity Freelance Food & Drink Writer (Toronto)

At Narcity, we’re building the future of local media, and we want you to be a part of our Global Neighbourhood. Narcity Media is a digital-only media publication that owns and operates Narcity.com and MTLBlog.com. Our staff and network of world-class creators interact with millions of Millennials and Gen Zs monthly through our websites, social channels, mobile apps, syndication partners, and email subscriptions. Our audience is interested in the national, the local and the hyper-local — simultaneously.

Your Mission:

We are seeking storytellers with experience writing SEO-focused Eat & Drink content who are excited to create engaging and relatable stories for Narcity Toronto. You should have a strong network of sources in the food and drink sectors and a knack for finding unique local angles that will resonate with what our audiences (Gen Z, Millennial, and beyond) are searching for.

You should have a record of publishing original, exclusive, or timely stories while being equally passionate about producing evergreen, search-focused content. We’re also seeking honest first-looks and reviews of what a new or trending place, activity or experience is really like in Toronto based on a personal visit.

The Contributing Writers should be able to cover everything from restaurant lists to food reviews to news about openings across Toronto, publishing local stories like these:

  • Research and write SEO-focused travel articles that drive reader engagement and grow Narcity’s audience with compelling packaging.
  • Consistently demonstrate a deep knowledge of what is happening and trending in your market.
  • Maintain a strong network of local sources in the industry.
  • Deliver on Narcity’s voice and tone and respect SEO, brand, and quality guidelines.
  • Ensure all information is properly cited and factually accurate.
  • Have a record of publishing original, exclusive, or timely stories while being equally passionate about producing evergreen, search-focused content.
  • Have a knack for finding unique local or national angles that will resonate with what our Gen Z and Millennial audiences are searching for.
  • You will receive specific assignments but will also be expected to propose their own pitches.
  • Exceptional verbal and written English skills.
  • Experience writing travel content for a digital publisher.
  • An education in Journalism, Communications, or a related field is considered an asset.
  • Knowledge of SEO best practices & experience optimizing content for search.
  • Availability to contribute on a regular basis and deliver to tight deadlines.
  • Familiarity with various style guides, especially AP Style, is an asset.
Position Type & Story Rates:

This is a freelance position that will be compensated on a per-story basis. Rates will be agreed upon when a pitch is accepted. Currently, our rates fall between $50 and $300 CAD depending on the article topic, length, and the amount of work involved. Please note you must be based in Toronto for this opportunity.

Please submit a complete application using our HRIS and answering all required fields.
  • Applications that don't include at least three pitches will not be considered.

To ensure we bring in subject matter experts, please apply only if you are specifically interested in this particular topic or market’s role and have not applied for multiple freelancer postings at Narcity. We value dedication and expertise in this specific field.
