Mountain Xpress is seeking experienced contributing writers to bolster our coverage of local news, arts and entertainment, food, the environment and health and wellness. We work with writers who know Asheville and Western North Carolina, are comfortable interacting with and reflecting a wide range of people and perspectives and can turn in clean, compelling copy — on deadline. Knowledge of AP style is helpful, as are photography skills.

Interested? Please send a cover letter; résumé; at least three published, relevant clips/links; and an indication of the section or sections you’d like to work with to writers@mountainx.com.
