Staff Writers Required (Anywhere)
Posted on 8:22 AM by Nathalie
We
have vacancies in ALL areas of the business so encourage applications
from everyone, but are particularly interested in recruiting strategy
fans and PC gamers.
Staff writers are expected to provide a combination of articles, previews and reviews. WE DO PAY OUR STAFF. However, all new writers with us are required to undertake a (short!) trial period of voluntary working to prove they are reliable and dedicated.
Once entered on the payment books, typical rates are 3 GBP per preview or article and 5 GBP for a substantive review, but these may vary depending on the length and importance of an individual piece. We are also working on introducing a system of bonus payments for frequent contributions and fast turnarounds.
Review copies are provided and will be yours to keep, but bear in mind that reviews will be allocated to staff based on their skills and contributions. We can also arrange appointments for staff to attend press events and will cover travel expenses.
As a UK-based website, good knowledge of British English (as opposed to US English) is an advantage - although not essential as all our submissions go through a proofing process before they are published. However, we do hold weekly meetings (via TeamSpeak) and attendance is encouraged so time zones may be a factor.
While the ideal applicant will be able to supply one article, preview or review per week, we will give consideration to writers who wish to contribute less provided this is made clear in the application.
Anyone interested in contributing, should email me with the following information: -
-----------
Contact Name:
Email Address:
What platforms do you have access to? (Xbox, PC etc)
What genres you prefer to play/specialise in? (RPG, RTS etc)
Please also include a sample of your work.
-----------
Any questions about this advertisement can be directed at the same address.
Regards,
Ross Brown
Editor
