WANTED: News Writers
GateWorld is currently looking to add a few additional news writers to the team to ease the burden on our current work horses. News stories are front-and-center on the site's heavily trafficked home page, and thus some of the most-read items on the entire site. Additional writers will, quite simply, allow us to publish more news more frequently.
Are you an interested writer? The people we are looking for:
Still interested? Please send a letter of introduction to Darren at [email protected], telling us a bit about yourself, your familiarity with Stargate and GateWorld, your writing education and related experience, and include a short writing sample. Thanks for your interest!
Are you an interested writer? The people we are looking for:
... are 18 years or older
... have formal training and/or professional experience with news writing (and thus know, for example, what an "inverted pyramid" is and how to use it)
... are super-duper Stargate fans, knowledgable about the series, its history, its cast, etc.
... spend regular time online seeking out or reading Stargate-related news items (in other words, this is a field you are already actively interested in)
... are self-motivated to track down news of interest to Stargate fans, not simply count on story assignments
... can write clean and concise copy on deadline that requires minimal or no editing before publication
... can contribute multiple stories per week (typically in the 200 to 400 word range)
You'll get your work published at GateWorld.net and read by tens of thousands of readers, along with a byline on every story you contribute. While this position is currently volunteer and unpaid, we may be able to explore compensation down the road. Because of GateWorld's relationship with Stargate SG-1: The Official Magazine, there are also possibilities that your work may be reused there -- which would definitely include compensation.... have formal training and/or professional experience with news writing (and thus know, for example, what an "inverted pyramid" is and how to use it)
