Write for The Observer

We're looking for people who know their subject and can tell a story. You don't need to be a professional journalist — you need a genuine perspective and the ability to put it into words. Editorial review required; we respond to every application.

✦ Genuine Knowledge

Deep familiarity with your subject — UFO cases, cryptid encounters, hauntings, government programs. We can tell the difference.

◈ Story Instinct

You know how to frame an event, build tension, and deliver a clear point. Prose over prose-shaped lists.

⊛ Editorial Commitment

Willingness to revise, accept edits, and meet deadlines. We work like a real newsroom.
