The Gamers' Voice: Looking for writers
Hello gents, as some of you may or may not know, EP has recently launched a new section by the name of The Gamers' Voice. Right now we've got a few writers throwing up random articles on whatever tickles our fancy. While the project has some potential, it's missing a little something. And that something is more content.
That's where you all come in. We're looking for people who can submit articles for TGV. It can be a one-off deal where you put together something, submit it, then walk away or you could become a regular writer. The choice is completely yours. It can also be a great source for a little publicity for your youtube channel, blog, podcast, or what have you. Never hurts to have extra people enjoying that sweet LP or that rant you wrote somewhere about that game you just finished.
As for what we want content wise, we're leaving that completely open. As long as it's roughly PG-13, not blatant spam, and not something you swiped from another writer we'll probably be throwing it up there. All submissions are quite welcome.
No need to worry about silly things like "deadlines", "quotas" and the like. It's really a non-intimidating gig. If you can read and write you're in. If you can be entertaining while doing it, you're super-in. Dropping off an article whenever you can is all we need.
We're looking at having a couple regular features (under-appreciated characters, five minute reviews, a weekly game-recommendation column), and you can already see examples of a few of them on TGV already. It's a great place to start if you're one of those people that wants to help but you happen to be a little bit unsure of what exactly you can write. Feel free to browse the stuff we already have up, maybe it'll inspire you and get those creative juices flowing when you realize "I can do this". A few writers have also got a few ideas in the pipes, but I think someone else might be more prepared to discuss those at length than I am.
As for the features, we're currently sorta throwing a lot of things out to see what sticks. If you've got some feedback feel free to let us hear it. If you've got an idea for something we could make a regular feature, go ahead and throw it out there. Maybe someone can make something cool happen with it. If you can write an introductory article for it, even better.
Submissions can be e-mailed to MasJ at [email protected].
So that's about it, I think. Now lets all rev up our keyboards and see where they take us.
