Write weekly email newsletters
for law firm clients.

Red Kraken Creative is looking for freelance writers who want a steady, recurring portfolio of email clients — not one-off gigs. You'll ghost-write in the voice of the law firm owner, batch emails on a real editorial schedule, and build long-term relationships with people who value great writing.

Why this role exists

Stable writing work, without the freelance feast-or-famine.

Most writing gigs are short. This one is the opposite: a growing roster of law firm clients who need a thoughtful weekly email for as long as they're in business. Once you're in the voice of a firm owner, you stay with that client.

That means consistent monthly revenue, real relationships with the people you write for, and the ability to do your best work inside voices and niches you actually come to know. If you've been looking for the freelance equivalent of a standing appointment, this is it.

The work

What you'll actually do, week in and week out.

No mystery here. The job is the same four things, done reliably for a portfolio of firms.

1

Batch-write weekly newsletters

Produce weekly emails for multiple law firm clients, writing in the voice of the firm owner or a designated key strategic person inside the firm.

2

Hit real editorial deadlines

We run on strong editorial schedules. You'll batch your writing in advance so clients always have emails queued — no scrambling the day before send.

3

Interview clients for ideas

You'll be the one on the call with the client: checking in, interviewing them, mining their stories and cases for the next month's worth of email topics.

4

Schedule and send in the ESP

You'll work directly inside each client's email service provider — uploading the written emails, scheduling them, and making sure they go out clean.

Fit check

Is this the right role for you?

We'd rather you self-select out now than three weeks into a client relationship. Read honestly.

✓ You'll thrive here

This is a great fit if…

  • You're a freelance writer or marketer looking for steady, recurring clients instead of one-offs.
  • You have actual experience writing email newsletters — not blog posts, not social captions, emails.
  • You can ghost-write convincingly in someone else's voice after a few conversations with them.
  • You're organized enough to batch work ahead of deadlines across multiple clients without missing sends.
  • You're comfortable inside email service providers (ConvertKit, ActiveCampaign, Mailchimp, Klaviyo, HubSpot, etc.).
  • You genuinely like lawyers and law firms and find the world of legal practice interesting.
✕ Please don't apply

This is not a fit if…

  • You have negative feelings about lawyers or law firms. Our clients are our partners. If that's your starting point, we won't work well together.
  • You've never written email newsletters before and want to learn on the job — we need experience, not aspiration.
  • You're looking for a one-time project or a short engagement.
  • You struggle with deadlines or need external pressure to finish drafts.
  • You don't want to be on client calls — this role includes real client interviewing.
  • You don't want to touch the ESP and only want to hand over Google Docs.
🎥 Your 3–5 minute video

Record a short video. Cover these four things.

This is the most important part of your application. We're looking for people who can read the role honestly, nod their head, and speak to it on camera. Keep it simple — webcam is fine.

01

Confirm that you understand the job: producing weekly email newsletters for law firms in the voice of the firm owner or a key strategic person.

02

Confirm you can meet strong editorial deadlines and that you're comfortable batch-creating emails in advance.

03

Confirm you're willing to interface with clients — regular check-ins and interviews to mine new email topics.

04

Confirm you're willing to work directly in each client's ESP to upload, schedule, and send the emails.

One more: somewhere in the video, please say out loud that you like working with lawyers and law firms. We'd rather hear it in your own words than check a box.
