Wanna Write for The Weekly Geek?
Are you the kind of person who emphatically evangelizes everything truly good that gets absorbed into your brain? Do you crave new experiences and suck the marrow out of life on a daily basis? Are you the kind of person who always has others coming up to you for advice on new gadget purchases, or what movie to go see on a Friday? Well maybe you'd like to share your sage knowledge with the readers and listeners of The Weekly Geek.
We're currently accepting submissions for additional writers. We're looking for people who are enthusiastic not only about video games, but the full gamut of geekery. We're looking for someone who yearns to get their voice heard, who is genuinely interested in blogging. More features writer than news republisher, more storyteller than dry press release rehasher. Writing at The Weekly Geek is an unpaid position but the experience you gain could be very valuable in the long run. There's the opportunity for free review copies of games, the chance to be read and edited by a group of your peers, and the satisfaction of being a part of a genuinely cool community of Geeks. Interested? Here are the requirements:
1. Submit a sample article to chris@weeklygeekshow.com with the subject line "Weekly Geek Writing Position". This article can be about whatever you want in the realm of geekiness. Be entertaining, be informative, be enthusiastic, be unique. It could be a list, it could be a comic strip. It could be a gangsta rap. It doesn't even have to be an article. It just has to show that you can provide awesome new content for the site.
2. Bonus points if you aren't already writing somewhere else.
3. Bonus points if you can draw or create your own header images for posts.
4. Bonus points if your topic of choice is a niche area of geekery (space program geek? Cell phone geek? Food geek? Zydeco music geek?)
I'll read all the submissions and choose new writers based on their writing ability, proposed schedule of posts and other unnamed arcane factors of my deciding. It's a great opportunity to get your name out there and be read by literally hundreds (!) of Weekly Geek fans. The rewards are well worth it.
