Hey you, yes YOU! The one with the clever words, the witty comebacks, the relatable rants, and the passion for telling a good story. Are you a mum who always seems to be the one everyone says, “You should totally write that down!”
Well, guess what? It’s time to put those words to work because Mum Central is calling for fresh, fabulous, and fierce casual writer to join our crew!
We’re not just any parenting network. We’re the parenting network. Mum Central is a powerhouse of content for Aussie mums, reaching over a million women every month across Australia and New Zealand. We’ve got reach, we’ve got clout, and we’ve got an audience who LOVES a good read that hits right in the feels (or the funny bone). And now? We want YOUR words to be part of the magic by joining our casual writer crew.
So, Who Are We Looking For?
Maybe you’re already a blogger. Maybe you’ve scribbled your way through countless journals. Or maybe you’ve just always had a knack for storytelling, venting, unpacking life as a mum, partner, professional, or downright badass woman. Whatever your background, if you’ve got a story to tell, we want to hear it.
This isn’t a full-time gig. It’s a side hustle, a passion project, a way to flex those creative muscles and maybe pay a couple of bills while you’re at it. We pay per article, and you’ll get your name (and words!) published across our high-traffic network. Hello, exposure! Want to build your writing portfolio? Boom. Tick. Want to share your truth with thousands of other mums who just get it? Done. Want to see your words go viral on Facebook and beyond? We can help with that too.
What Kind of Content Works?
So, what are we looking for? We’re after casual writers who can deliver:
- Real-life stories that mums will connect with
- Helpful tips and advice (especially those gold nuggets you wish someone had told YOU!)
- Funny takes on parenting chaos
- Thought-provoking opinion pieces
- Reviews and recommendations (because mums trust other mums)
- Feel-good features that warm the heart
Why be a Casual Writer for Mum Central?
You don’t have to be an award-winning journalist (although we won’t say no to that!). You just need a great idea, a decent handle on spelling and grammar, and the ability to write like you’re chatting to your bestie. Keep it real, keep it engaging, and keep it YOU.
Why Mum Central? Because we’re more than a brand. We’re a community. We champion Aussie mums, we create authentic content, and we aren’t afraid to get real about the juggle. Our readers trust us because we keep it honest, useful, and relatable. And now we want to bring more voices into the mix – especially YOURS.
This Isn’t a 9-to-5 – It’s a Flex Gig
Still reading? Good! That probably means you’ve got a spark. So here’s what to do: Send us a quick hello, a short intro about who you are, what you’d love to write about, and (if you have one) a sample of your work. We’re not here to judge – we’re here to discover raw, relatable talent and give it a platform.
