Freelance writers needed to update a New York City guidebook geared toward hip, upscale travelers. Writers should live in or near New York City or must have very close ties to the city and visit often. Writers must be very knowledgeable about the city's sights, neighborhoods, restaurants, shops, museums and galleries, performing arts, recreational activities, nightlife, and/or hotels, and should have previous experience writing about New York City.

Freelance fact checkers needed to verify accuracy of guidebook listings. Previous fact checking experience a plus.

Interested applicants should send a cover letter, a resume, and (for writers only) a 50-word restaurant profile to avalon.acquisitions@perseusbooks.com. Please include "Freelance writer New York City " or "Freelance fact checker New York City” in the subject line of your message. In the cover letter, be sure to tell us which topics (e.g. restaurants, neighborhoods) are your areas of expertise.

No phone calls, please. We will contact you if we think you could be a good fit for the assignments; we apologize that we may not be able to respond personally to each applicant
