Creative Writer - Remote

Overview

Handshake is seeking experienced Creative Writers and writing professionals to support AI research through flexible, hourly contract work. This is not a traditional full-time editorial, publishing, or agency role.

• Schedule: Flexible and asynchronous, with no minimum hour requirement. Many contributors work approximately 5–20 hours per week when assigned to an active project
• Duration: The Handshake AI program runs year-round, with projects opening periodically across different areas of expertise. Placement depends on current project needs, with opportunities to be considered for future projects as they become available

Requirements

• Experience as a Creative Writer or in closely related writing or editorial roles
• Hands-on experience developing original written content, editing drafts, and refining voice and tone
• Strong written communication skills and attention to detail
• Comfort working independently and following written guidelines
• Professional judgment, reliability, and a high standard of discretion and confidentiality, especially with sensitive or proprietary information
