👉 TL;DR: Join my database of writers and editors
If you joined already but it was years ago, I encourage you to join again so your profile is updated.
Here’s an opportunity for you…
I often hire writers and editors, both for my own ventures and for my clients, for freelance opportunities and full-time roles. I use this database to find candidates for those opportunities.
You’re a fit if you are:
… even if you have a job already. I will not share this list publicly, so no one will ever know you’re on it except me and any companies I recommend you to.
Please only fill out this form if you write online or for the web. I typically search by specialty, so when you get to that question, fill it out generously.
👉 Join my database of writers and editors
In 2013, when I was running a boutique content agency, I published a blog post asking writers to join my database of freelance writers.
I got hundreds of sign-ups right out of the gate. But what surprised me was what happened over the next eight years: writers kept joining, a steady stream of sign-ups every year.
With zero promotion aside from that one blog post, nearly 2,200 writers have joined this database and shared what kind of writing they specialize in.
So I kept using it. Whenever I need to hire a freelance writer, I look back at the database to see who might be a fit. For a while I did this for friends, too, company leaders looking to hire a writer in a particular field. If they needed someone to write about pets, for example, I did a quick search to see who in the database has that specialty.
Now that I’m working as a consultant, helping startups hire writers and editors, I’m circling back to this database to update it. Many of the writers who joined as early as 2013 have leveled-up in their career and now write about different topics.
If you’re a writer or editor who’s open to freelance writing or editing opportunities or full-time writing or editing roles, I hope you’ll join the database.

Thanks for the opportunity, Alexis! Passing this on to a few other people now…
Great idea, have entered my details.
Thank you for reaching out and offering this opportunity. Great community building in our online world!
Great opportunity, Alexis! Thanks for this!
Just to be clear, are you needing people to blog for someone else or looking for people to promote products on their own blogs? (It makes a difference in how I enter my information).
Looking for people to write blog posts for other people 🙂 (Nothing would go on your own blog.) Thanks!
Wow, what a really nice offer, Alexis. Thank you so much.
Annie
Thank you so much for this incredible opportunity.
Wendy
This is excellent – count me in!
This is AMAZING! Thank you so much for this wonderful resource, Alexis!
This is such a great opportunity, Alexis! I found out about you through a recent Problogger post you made about managing multi-author blogs, and found it very helpful as I help manage one for a sales and marketing company. I’d love the opportunity to get my word out there on several different blogs! Thanks so much.
Hi Alexis,
I am new on here, I have just signed up to go on your database for bloggers. Where I got your site from and information, was on Sophie Lizards blog ‘Be a Freelance Blogger’ from one of her posts, I just thought I would let you know that.
Thank you for having this great data base for bloggers, once people make it they are not usually interested in us that’s straggling behind. Once again thank you.
Veronica.
Hi Alexis,
I found a link to this blog post and your database for bloggers so filled in the form. Just wondering if this is still active? This is a wonderful idea for new bloggers starting out and for others who need a helping hand to get started in freelance blogging.
Thank you
Jane
Hi Jane — We do still use this occasionally! Socialexis was recently acquired, so we don’t use it for lots of blogs anymore, but we do use it for The Penny Hoarder: http://thepennyhoarder.com, and I plan to occasionally send notes to the group as well. It’s worth adding your info!
Thanks Alexis for replying to me. I have submitted my info 🙂
Hello!
I don’t know if you are still looking for freelance bloggers but I have submitted my information regardless. If you are, please keep in touch! Thank you so much for this opportunity for the community of online writers.
Hi Alexis,
I submitted all of my details. thanks for the opportunity, and as a new freelance writer and blogger, I’m definitely willing to work for $50 per blog post.
It`s a great opportunity! Thank you for this.
Amazing! Thanks for creating new opportunities for bloggers alike 🙂 I’ll pass on the message too!
Hello!
I don’t know if you are still looking for freelance bloggers but I have submitted my information regardless. If you are, please keep in touch! Thank you so much for this opportunity for the community of online writers.
Is this available for ghost bloggers? I do content/blogs for other people but don’t have a blogging site myself. I spend all of my time writing for other accounts so I haven’t started a blog of my own. I have over two years of blogging experience but no website for blogging. Would I still be able to apply? Thank you.
Thank you for this opportunity to add my name to a qualified list. In the past I have avoided adding my name to any public type of document that would list me as a logger available for items such as paid blogs and guest blogs. Thanks again Richard
Thanks for this fantastic opportunity, Alexis! I’ve just added my details. All the best!
Happy to add myself to the database. My friend James Fell passed the link along.
Question: I realized there were a few more things I should have added to my information, is there any way to edit/add to my entry?
Hi Karen! If you email the info to me, I’ll add it for you: alexis@alexisgrant.com. Glad to have you!
