    London

    About RICO RICO is a luxury cultural magazine redefining what luxury means. Rather than centring celebrity lifestyles or unattainable ideals, we believe luxury lies in people, their heritage, traditions, creativity, resilience, and stories. Our mission is to celebrate cultures, festivals, identities, and communities from every corner of the world through thoughtful journalism, striking photography, and meaningful storytelling. Fashion magazines have long overlooked the richness and diversity of everyday people, often offering representation that feels superficial rather than authentic. RICO exists to change that. We create a space where readers can see themselves reflected with depth and dignity while discovering the cultures and experiences of others. Since launching, we’ve published stories covering celebrations from 35 countries across 6 continents, and our readership has grown to over 1,000 readers in 36 countries worldwide. New articles are published every Friday, and we’re always looking for passionate contributors to help shape the future of the magazine. If you believe every culture deserves to be celebrated and every story deserves to be told beautifully, we’d love to hear from you. The Opportunity We’re looking for volunteer Writers and Photographers from around the world to contribute original editorial content that celebrates culture, identity, fashion, heritage, and global celebrations. Whether you’re sharing traditions from your hometown, documenting a local festival, exploring the history behind a celebration, or telling a personal story connected to your culture, your voice matters. This is a fully remote, flexible role where you’ll collaborate with our editorial team while having the creative freedom to bring fresh perspectives and original ideas. We’re Looking For People Who • Have a passion for storytelling and cultural representation., • Enjoy writing, photography, journalism, fashion, travel, or the arts., • Value authenticity and diverse perspectives., • Are creative, curious, and open-minded., • Can communicate clearly and work independently., • Are able to meet agreed deadlines. Previous publishing experience is welcome but not essential. We value genuine stories and unique perspectives above professional experience. Why Join RICO? As a volunteer contributor, you’ll have the opportunity to: * Be published in an international luxury cultural magazine. * Build your writing or photography portfolio. * Reach a growing global audience. * Develop editorial and storytelling experience. * Connect with an international community of creatives. * Help reshape how editorial media represents people and culture. Most importantly, you’ll help create a magazine where someone, somewhere in the world, can open an article and recognise a piece of themselves. Our Mission At RICO, we believe culture is something to experience through the people who live it. Every tradition has a story. Every celebration has meaning. Every person has something worth sharing. We’re building a magazine where luxury is measured not by exclusivity, but by authenticity, craftsmanship, and human connection. We invite contributors from every background, country, and culture to share the stories they wish they had seen represented in editorial media. Your story could be next. Authentic Storytelling At RICO, authenticity is at the heart of everything we publish. Our magazine exists to celebrate real people, real cultures, and real experiences. We’re not looking for perfectly polished or AI-generated articles; we’re looking for your voice. We therefore ask that contributors do not use AI to write or substantially generate their submissions. While basic tools such as spellcheck or grammar correction are absolutely fine, the ideas, stories, reflections, and writing itself should come from you. Many of our features require little to no formal research. Instead, we encourage contributors to draw from their own experiences, memories, family traditions, communities, and cultural knowledge. Whether you’re writing about a celebration you’ve attended every year since childhood or photographing a local festival that means something to you, your personal perspective is what makes the story valuable. We believe the most meaningful stories are those that can only be told by the people who have lived them.

    Chemist/Biologist/Biochemist Consultant for Sci-fi Novel
    2 months ago
    Part-time

    Hello there. I'm a recent winner of a literary award for my soon to published science fiction novel(s), and I am looking for professionals, specifically in the sciences, to act as consultants. Originally, I had students in mind for this role but anyone with an interest is absolutely welcome to apply — a bonus if you like science-fiction books/film/television! I am hoping this partnership will lead to a lasting relationship in which you will assist me on the full book as well as up coming future works (of which I hope there to be many more of). I will be asking for your help on many weird, wonderful, and speculative subjects in which my creative brain needs someone with an academic mind for some realistic grounding in reality. However, as with all science fiction, creative license is always welcome. To give you an idea of the sort of things I may ask for your expertise on, I am currently looking for help on solidifying the technical biological makeup of an alien hive-parasite organism. I have the entire concept laid out, I know what I want the organism to be and do, I just need a science mind to help solidify the chemical attributes, to write out and explain what the organism is made up of, in a way that makes sense (Is it silicon-cabron based, for instance? People keep telling me it should be but I don't know what the hell that means — help!) Obviously, this is fiction and does not all of have to be based in fact, but it has to sound plausible, and most importantly believable to the audience. If you are not a biologist or biochemist but have expertise, please still apply! If you're based in or around London, it would be great to meet and discuss. Otherwise a call/zoom is fine. I'm aware this job offer is unorthodox, but I'd be happy to offer a payment of flat fee of £50 for this first project.
