You’ll work closely with editors to produce clear, engaging articles that perform well and resonate with enthusiast audiences.

About Us

How-to Geek is a leading technology publication that helps readers understand, use, and enjoy technology. While we’re best known for practical how-to content, our Hobbies & DIY coverage focuses on the enthusiast side of tech — the projects, tools, and experiments people do because they want to, not because they have to.

Examples of topics include (but aren’t limited to):

  • Raspberry Pi and single-board computer projects
  • Home lab setups, upgrades, and experiments
  • USB-C devices, hubs, cables, and accessories
  • DIY tech projects and maker-style builds
  • Tool and hardware content that evokes brand loyalty
  • Enthusiast tech explained in a practical, accessible way

  • Write original, well-researched feature articles for the Hobbies & DIY category
  • Pitch story ideas that appeal to tech enthusiasts and hobbyists
  • Clearly explain technical concepts to a broad audience
  • Meet deadlines and maintain consistent output

What We’re Looking For

  • Proven experience writing about technology (published samples required)
  • Interest or hands-on familiarity with hobbyist or DIY tech topics
  • Strong ability to explain complex ideas clearly and engagingly
  • Comfortable writing on a regular cadence
  • Open to editorial guidance and headline optimization

Application Requirements

  • CV
  • Cover Letter
    • In your cover letter, please address the following questions:
      • Why do you want to write for How-to Geek?
      • What makes you the right fit for this role? (You can touch upon previous experience and your passion for DIY tech)
  • Screening Questions
  • Links to previously published work


We will get back to you as soon as possible if we think you'd make a solid addition to the team!
