Work with us

Work with us

A desk with a notebook and pen

We are a small operation and we hire rarely, but we always want to hear from two kinds of people.

City editors

If you know a Dutch city properly, write clearly in English, and would enjoy deciding what thirty thousand residents read over breakfast, tell us about the city and what you would put in tomorrow’s edition.

Local contributors

Writers and photographers who cover one neighbourhood, one scene or one subject well. Paid per piece, credited, and free to keep publishing elsewhere.

How to approach us

Write to info@essentiallynederland.com. Send something you have written rather than a description of yourself, and say which city you are writing about. We read everything and reply to what fits.
