Applicants must already write to a high professional standard and have experience of writing for either magazines, papers or good quality websites. If writers haven’t written for any of the previously mentioned, then they must at least have studied creative writing and prove they’re serious about writing. We’re looking for writers of various styles, voices and ages capable of delivering articulate, medium brow reviews, so specialist subject knowledge and expertise won’t be necessary for many reviews. Writers, regardless of their age and experience, will regularly have the opportunity to switch subject matter and review a wide range of film, TV, theater, documentaries and drama.
Rates of pay are as follows:
800 word reviews pay $300 and 500 word reviews pay $150.
To apply, please send at least one review or professional standard article you have written, minimum 500 words in length. Please do not send several smaller pieces pasted together, any informal blogs, article website ‘how to’ or info pieces or anything other than a piece of writing that shows your ability to write professional standard reviews. Writers are welcome to send their application in PDF format with a © notice watermark on if desired, still ensuring all text is readable. Please email a resume’ containing your home address and details of your interests and previous employment, not just your writing experience.
The subject window of your email should first state your full name followed by the word ‘Application.’ All applications will be acknowledged on receipt although only successful applicants will be contacted after the application stage.
