Hiring Freelance Writers!

Driven Autos, a division of Stumpwater Media Group, LLC, is seeking freelance writers to contribute editorial content.

Founded in 2005, Driven Autos has changed hands twice, most recently in May 2021. While principal Matt Keegan is currently focused on expanding other digital properties, refreshing legacy content, and implementing broader structural improvements, maintaining a steady pipeline of high-quality automotive content remains a priority.

Who We Are Looking For

Ideal candidates have experience writing about cars—but not necessarily reviewing them. That role is already well covered. Instead, we are interested in writers who can confidently tackle specific areas of the automotive world, such as:

  • Tires and wheels
  • Child safety seats
  • In-cabin technology and infotainment
  • Driver-assistance and safety systems
  • Ownership, maintenance, and usability topics

If you have a strong grasp of one or more of these areas, we’d like to hear from you.

Types of Writing Opportunities

We are currently seeking contributors comfortable working in one or both of the following formats:

1. Standard-form articles

These typically run 600 to 750 words and feature a strong lead, a well-developed body, and a clear conclusion. Because this content is designed for digital consumption, short sentences (generally 20 words or fewer), clear transitions, and section headers are essential. In some cases, list-style articles—especially numbered lists—are encouraged when appropriate.

2. Mid- and long-form features

We are also interested in writers capable of producing more in-depth pieces, including:

  • Mid-length articles of approximately 1,200 to 1,500 words
  • Long-form features of 2,000 words or more

Now Underway

Our hiring process is already underway. Interested candidates should submit the following:

  • A brief letter of introduction
  • A current résumé
  • Three writing samples (links are acceptable)
  • Your proposed pay scale
  • Your general availability (for example: one to five articles per week during July and August)

Please send all materials to: [drivenautosmagazine@gmail.com]

Review Process

We have already retained the services of two freelance contributors but remain open to adding additional writers. If you believe your experience and writing style align with what we’re building at Driven Autos, we encourage you to reach out.

We look forward to hearing from you.

Best Regards,
Matt Keegan
