This Job is not for the Faint of Heart
If you want safe copy, soft blankets, and lukewarm coffee, go find a lifestyle blog. SOFREP hunts the real thing. We chase the flash of tracer fire across the world’s headlines and kick in the doors on stories that prefer to stay hidden.
On our Team, you will ride the ragged edge where facts puncture myths and bad reputations bleed. If your pulse does not climb when truth collides with power, walk away. If it does, buckle up and take the ride.
The Mission
We need a part-time writer who can stalk a story through smoke and confusion, then drag it home by the throat. You will brief readers who know the smell of cordite and the weight of consequence. You will source, verify, and file with discipline and accuracy. There is no hand-holding here. You will write clean, muscular prose that moves like a patrol through a hostile alley. Our readers are operators, veterans, and high-speed professionals. Earn their trust or be eaten alive.
The Pedigree
You must have at least one of the following (and we will check):
- Military background (active duty or veteran)
- Current or former law enforcement experience
- Current or former employment in a three-letter agency
If that is you, then you already understand op-tempo, accountability, and the art of keeping your head when others lose theirs. You can tell hard truths without flinching. You know when to keep your mouth shut and when to spit fire.
The Outfit You Join
You will be in the stack with some of the best military writers working today. Navy SEALs, Delta Force, Green Berets, bestselling authors…sometimes all wrapped up in the same person.
They have worn the uniform, carried the weight, and taken the shot. They write with scars and vivid memories. You will learn from them, push them, and compete with them. Steel against steel. No passengers wanted.
What We Ask of You
- Tell truth to power with precision and proof
- Report with integrity and source discipline
- File on time and respond to edits like a pro
- Write for an audience that has been there and done it
- Bring story ideas that hit hard and matter
If you need a safe space and a binkie, this is not your posting. If you want to sharpen your blade in a room full of heavy hitters, step in.
What You Get
Reach. Credibility. The thrill of impact when a line you wrote detonates in a briefing room. You get a byline that means something. You get a team that will back you in contact and call you out when you miss. Military writing at its finest.
The voice from the tip of the spear.
How To Apply
