We're hiring at Game|Life!
As you may have already heard, Game|Life contributor Jason Schreier is finishing up his tenure here at Wired. He has left behind big shoes to fill, like Sideshow Bob. We are looking for a Sideshow Mel, bone-shaped hair accessory not required but encouraged, to write daily news posts and contribute occasional reviews, news features and opinion to the Game|Life blog. This will be a contract position; pay to be determined based on experience. As Jason will attest, this is an excellent opportunity for a talented enthusiastic writer to get his or her foot in the door.
UPDATE: The position has been filled! Please stop applying!
Details on how to apply are below.
But wait, there's more! Additionally, I would like to say that Game|Life is also now accepting pitches for individual feature stories. What we're ideally looking for are stories like "Quest For the Golden Nintendo Game" -- evergreen news features about a particular trend in gaming, written for a general audience. We've got a few coming up that are going to further illustrate what we're looking for, so keep an eye out for those.
To apply for Game|Life's Contributor position, send an email (no attachments please unless you draw us a comic) to [email protected] with the following:
- A paragraph about yourself. Who are you? What have you done that makes you qualified for this?
- Three writing samples, published or unpublished: A news post, a piece of game criticism and a longer feature.
We'll pick out a few applicants and get back to you with more requests (sorry, the sheer volume of emails we get means we can't write back to everyone).
