What an amazing opportunity! Love you guys, good luck to all the applicants.
What a dream job! Is there a deadline for applications?
Hi Allison! The sooner the better. 🙂 -Jacki
I’d gladly offer myself for food posts… But I can’t promise to take pictures myself! I usually take pictures from internet 🙁
How would you dress for a cold winter date? Check out my latest post for the answer 🙂

Ahhh….I wish I could do this! Working for you guys would be a dream. I absolutely adore your blog. Good luck finding someone!
I’m assuming this is only open to US applicants? Or is it worldwide?
Hi Jennifer! Anyone can apply. 🙂 -Jacki
Awesome! I’m definitely going to have to consider it then! 😀 Thanks Jacki!
This would be an amazing job! I think I want to apply 🙂
Oh my goodness, this is amazing! But i would like to ask something first (unless you don’t want to discuss it in public), how much is the compensation per post? I would love to apply, but this for me is a parameter to consider.
DREAM JOB STATUS!!
Oh man, I didn’t even think about Laura going on maternity leave! Her posts are always some of my favorites. Although I know we’ll get more great stuff from the new contributors 🙂
Can’t wait to see who you pick out as new contributors.
Oh my goodness, this is my dream! I just quit my day job to throw myself fully into the DIY home decor and craft blogging that I’ve been doing for about five years now. I actually was planning to pitch myself to you in the next few months, but I will send you something this week instead! Thank you, thank you for letting us know about this opportunity!
SERIOUS JOB GOALS! I just sent in an email! Wishing everyone the best!
Phew, you guys are gonna get swamped! So cool though, that you put this out for anyone around the world!
for sure dream job. but im not that creative in making my own DIY. I am good at following and I love writing…
Dying a little inside. This would have been perfect for me, especially the novelty food photos. Unfortunately, I’ve never been able to invest in a digital SLR. Best of luck finding your someone 🙂

this would be such an amazing opportunity!
Hi! I would totally love to apply, but I’m a college student so my activities are somewhat limited… for the rest of the semester, I won’t be able to cook (I will after that), but I can do crafts and small-scale dorm decor diy projects and such. Would you still recommend applying? Love the website and check it daily, by the way! 🙂
What an amazing opportunity! Going to get on this right away 🙂

Thanks for the opportunity!
Is the application open to people who live abroad ? I’m french but I write, I do as much as DIY home decor, and craft as I can, and I studied photography and video. If it is open, I definitly will send my resume !
More sewing projects please 😉
It’s a dream job !!
If you apply and share your work with us we will gladly share the compensation rate with you, it’s not something we like to post publicly online.
Thanks

Agree! We will miss her while she is away. She’s such a great writer and always shares A++ content for ABM.
I am very much team Laura if you can’t tell. 😉
-Emma
Yes, anyone may apply. We currently have writers who live abroad.

Does it matter what age you are?
At least 18 would be great! -Jacki
I can’t seem to email you. What is the email
I can’t wait to apply!!
This would be a dream come true for us, we’ve been following ABM for years! Just sent an email 🙂
I have ideas but I don’t have an established blog, could I still apply?
As long as you have photos and writing to show for your work, you can apply. 🙂
