Work With Tinsel
Tinsel Magazine is a digital culture and entertainment publication covering the forces shaping modern fame, media, and creative industries. We're small, independent, and building something real.
We're looking for sharp, self-directed people who want to contribute to a publication that values original thinking over content volume. All roles are remote and freelance.
To apply for any role below, email editor@readtinsel.com with the subject line "Tinsel [Role Name]" — for example, "Tinsel Freelance Writer." Attach your resume or portfolio link and a brief note on why you're interested.
Freelance Writer
Type: Freelance / Remote
Commitment: 2–4 articles per month
We're looking for writers who can turn cultural moments into smart, readable analysis. You'd cover entertainment, internet culture, fashion, art, or the creator economy — whichever is your lane.
What we're looking for:
- A portfolio of published clips — blogs count, quality matters more than the masthead
- The ability to write a 700–1,200 word piece that argues something, not just reports it
- Familiarity with our coverage areas: entertainment, culture, fashion, internet, art, style
- Reliability — deadlines are real, even at indie publications
To apply: Send 2–3 clips and a one-paragraph pitch for an article you'd write for Tinsel. Subject line: "Tinsel Freelance Writer"
Graphic Designer
Type: Freelance / Remote
Commitment: Ongoing, project-based
We need a designer who can create social media assets, article graphics, and visual content for Instagram and TikTok. You'd work with our editorial team to turn published stories into shareable visual formats.
What we're looking for:
- Strong portfolio showing editorial or social media design work
- Proficiency in Figma, Photoshop, Canva Pro, or similar tools
- Understanding of Instagram and TikTok visual formats — what gets engagement, what gets scrolled past
- Ability to work within brand guidelines while bringing your own eye
To apply: Send your portfolio and 1–2 examples of social content you've created. Subject line: "Tinsel Graphic Designer"
Social Media Manager
Type: Freelance / Remote
Commitment: 8–12 hours per week
We're building our social presence from scratch on Instagram and TikTok. This role is for someone who actually uses these platforms — not someone who's read a guide about them.
What we're looking for:
- Demonstrated experience growing a brand or publication account (show us the numbers)
- Content ideas for culture and entertainment — not generic "motivational quotes" energy
- Understanding of posting cadence, hashtag strategy, and platform-specific content formats
- Comfort with short-form video (Reels, TikToks) — even rough concepts count
To apply: Send links to accounts you've managed and a rough 2-week content plan for @readtinsel. Subject line: "Tinsel Social Media Manager"
