Do you have a genuine appetite for popular music and pop culture? Can you write snappy, snark-free heds and deks with casual enthusiasm? Can you speak to -- not down to -- a 13-24 audience with authority and a sense of humor? If you can honestly answer "yes" to these questions, we'd like to see your stuff.

We're in need of a talented copywriter for a full-time, in-house freelance assignment writing for MTV.com and associated digital properties. The ability to write concise promotional copy and headlines that get the message across, and do it quickly, is key.

Additionally, the ideal candidate would be able to pen short-form pop music- and music celebrity- related blog posts.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS:
• College degree
• Minimum two years editorial experience
• Experience writing for online publications and blogging about music and/or entertainment
• A passion for pop music and pop culture

If this is you, send your resume and recent clips ASAP. Resumes received without clips will not be considered.
