At ProWritingAid, our mission is to help people become better writers so they can share their ideas, stories, and knowledge.

Words shape the world, and we have a unique opportunity to help shape and improve those words. If you love inspiring, educating, and helping people, then this is the right place for you. You'll be helping not only our users but also the millions of children and adults inspired by their words.

We're a 100% remote team spread across more than ten countries brought together by a love of language. By focusing on sustainable growth and the happiness of our team, we've been in business for over 8 years and are still growing strongly without any VC funding.

We are on the lookout for a talented, creative, and passionate Illustrative Storyteller to join our dynamic team.
