There is plenty of work for writers out there, you've just got to find it.

Good luck!

WRITERS WANTED - PAYING GIG

Our on-line magazine European Journal, compiled for everyone interested in the diversity and uniqueness of the European continent, is currently on the lookout for serious and self-motivated writers to provide material for sections: European Travels, European Food&Wine, European Histories and more.

For centuries the European continent has been like a magnet, attracting people from the entire world. European histories and cultures are among those that have shaped world history, while European food and wines have remained the most diverse and delicious in the world. Without a doubt, all of these caveats deserve individual, special attention, don’t they?

European Journal aims at sharing the special qualities of Europe with its readers. How does Europe taste? Where are the most enchanting places to go? Which events have shaped the history of Europe? Bearing this in mind, part of our mission is dedicated to solid reporting on cultural and historical issues. To bring you the latest and the most exciting travel destinations and its people, our magazine encompasses well-known and virtually undiscovered places all around Europe – including colourful photos.
