Are you a muggle with writing experience? Do you consider yourself an expert when it comes to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter? Familiar with every spell, charm, curse, and wizard? If so, get out your favorite feathered quill and take notes on this once-in-a-lifetime career opportunity.
I know what you’re thinking. Obviously this is a job description for the Daily Prophet, right? Not quite. This job opportunity comes from Pottermore, the news and publishing company behind J.K. Rowling and her Harry Potter series and other novels like Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them.
Pottermore is looking for writers. As the digital heart of J.K. Rowling’s Wizarding World, Pottermore covers everything from the latest news across the brand, to in-depth features on existing canon and characters.
Freelance writers with an eye for a good story, a passion for in-depth analysis and research, as well as strong working knowledge of the Harry Potter stories, should send pitches and samples of their work to Content Editor Krystal Sim by completing the application form.
Pro Tip: If you’re sending your resume in with an owl, make sure you send in a digital copy too, for safe keeping.
