Empire at War

GameReplays.org is still in search of Writers to join our growing portal team. If you're interested in Writing newsposts and articles, have some journalistic experience, and are fluent in English, feel free to apply.

What are your benefits as a Writer?

• The opportunity to use your writing talent by contributing to the development and maintenance of the GameReplays.org portals.
• The opportunity to have first access on certain game alphas and betas and possibly, in the future, free games to review/preview.
• A staff badge and access to the staff forums.
• Opportunity for promotions.

As a Writer, you will be responsible for the following:

• Writing at least two newsposts every week (this figure is subject to change). A newspost is a (approximately) 100-300 word news story that can cover just about anything in the gaming community.
• Putting all works through revision before posting them. Your works will be looked over by an Editor or Senior Editor and edited for grammar, spelling, punctuation, sentence structure, and formatting mistakes. It's not an insult to your intelligence to put a piece through revision- everyone makes mistakes and we want to be 100% sure that we're putting quality work on the portals.
• Communicating with Editors and Senior Editors about activity and discussing any concerns/questions.

If you're interested in applying, please include the following in a PM to Locke or Lombardi:

• Two examples of newsposts. Search the internet or GameReplays, find some news about events, announcements, patches, tournaments, or anything that interests you (must be gaming related), and write a 100-300 word news story for each. On some occasions, we may ask you to attempt a third newspost. You will be promptly rejected for any plagiarized work.
• Detailed and thoughtful answers to the following questions:
  -What is your age and how have your grades/marks been in English courses over the last 1-2 years? If you are out of school, what is your current profession?
  -What experience do you have in journalism, such as journalism classes or internships?
  -Do you often read professional news websites, news magazines, or newspapers?
  -Are you able to successfully brainstorm questions, contact a person for an interview, and carry out that interview in an organized and professional manner? What sort of experience do you have with interviewing?

The answers themselves won't determine your acceptance onto the Writing staff, but we would definitely like to know a bit about your experience and ability.

We're looking for people that can communicate well and are confident in themselves and their ability. If you're interested, please apply!
