Editors will learn the BobVila.com style guide and ensure that all content is complete, accurate, and grammatically correct as well as optimized according to SEO and affiliate best practices. Above all, our priority is packaging the need-to-know info in a well-researched, easy-to-digest story.

The stories themselves range between 700 and 3,000 words, depending on the format.
