Hi network! We're looking for freelance editorial writers to add to the content marketing bench Berxi. Writers must have experience interviewing subject matter experts and researching data-rich pieces. We’re also looking for writers who can bring an engaging conversational tone to informational material that achieves SEO keyword goals.

Berxi specializes in professional and small business insurance. Topics may cover: insurance concerns and explanations, demystifying professional liability, business-startup subjects, risk and liability matters, real lawsuit stories from customers, and professional self-reflections.

Most articles require at least one expert point of view that will need to be original to Berxi and sourced by the writer. Berxi cannot provide sources unless we ask you to interview an in-house expert. Writers may also interact/interview Berxi customers on our behalf.

Writers should have 5+ years of writing articles for newspapers or brands.
If interested, please reach out to katie.bugbee@bhspecialty.com with links to recently published articles or a portfolio website, as well as your hourly or project rate(s).

Thank you!

The Shaufler Prize in Journalism is the premier contest that recognizes the best journalism in the country advancing the understanding of issues related to underserved people in society, such as communities of color, immigrants, LGBTQ+ and those with disabilities.

Ed Shaufler, who died in late 2020, cared deeply about promoting understanding of underrepresented people. Paul B. Anderson, principal and CEO of Workhouse Media, established the prize with the Cronkite School to honor his late friend. “Ed was a great observer of human behavior, both individually and in groups,” says Anderson. “He and I spent years just talking about journalism and stories and society. Ed loved that intellectual engagement around journalism, and I thought we should put his name to something that may have immediate and lasting impact for a journalist.”
