About Suddenly Senior
Suddenly Senior has been making America’s older adults laugh, think, and nod along since the early days of the internet. We’re seeking a witty, sharp writer with a flair for observational humor, nostalgia, and cultural commentary that resonates with the Boomer and Gen X crowds.
What You’ll Do
- Write humorous columns (600–900 words) that explore the absurdities of aging, retirement, technology, family, politics, or “kids these days”
- Lean into nostalgia—classic TV, music, fashion, and everyday life in decades past
- Inject your unique voice and perspective while staying senior-friendly and light-hearted
- Pitch original ideas or accept editorial prompts
- Contribute at least 1 column per month (more if available)
What We’re Looking For
- A natural sense of humor and storytelling ability
- Experience writing humor or satire (published or unpublished)
- Knowledge of boomer culture, past and present
- A clean, conversational writing style
- Ability to take feedback and keep jokes appropriate for a senior audience
Compensation
$100 per column with a byline and exposure to a large senior audience. Bonus if selected for syndication or social campaigns.
How to Apply
Please send us:
- 1–2 humor writing samples (can be blog posts, essays, or unpublished work)
- A short paragraph about your favorite decade and why
- 3 humor column ideas or titles you’d love to write
