Have you ever read a gaming review and felt like the author didn’t know what he/she was talking about?

Have you ever had an insight that you thought could change the world of gaming?

We want to give you the opportunity to share your views with the world.

Gamers Portal is looking for talented writers everywhere to help contribute to making our blog bigger, better, and more awesome.  We’re giving gamers like you the opportunity to write about your gaming strategies, opinions, and insights.  Our invitation is open to anyone with a passion for writing, video games, and having their ideas read by many.

There are no restrictions on content as long as it relates to gaming.  You can post reviews of games, industry critiques, or information about a gaming event or tournament.

What we expect from guest writers:

• Willingness to spend the time to write meaningful content for the Gamers Portal blog (generally between 500 and 1000 words)
• Content must be delivered in a finished state, including section headers/dividers, and images that you wish to have included (both images and section headers are required for readability)
• An open mind towards revising content; we have certain standards when it comes to quality of writing, and if the editor-in-chief (that’s me) would like a certain topic fleshed out more, you can’t take offense to the suggestion
• With posts: it’s okay to be provocative, but don’t be offensive
• This is all for free: if we can’t afford to pay ourselves, then unfortunately we can’t afford to pay you
• Once an article is published, Gamers Portal owns the copyright to the content
• No plagiarism of any kind (we don’t need a scandal on our hands)

What we promise to give you as guest writers:

• Guest blog posts will be featured in our email newsletter that goes out to all Gamers Portal users
• You will be given 100% credit for all blog posts you write
• We will not edit your content; we may ask you to alter certain parts, but you control the copy; if you decide you don’t like our suggestions, you don’t have to edit, but we don’t have to publish

What’s the next step?

If you’ve stuck with me to this point and you’re interested in writing for us, then shoot me an email (Matt [at] gamersportal [dot] com) with these three things:

• Writing samples – content or articles that you’ve written in the past (if you have them; if you don’t, then you can still apply)
• Three sample topics that you’d like to write about on the Gamers Portal blog – this will be the bulk of how we evaluate potential writers
• A short bio about yourself and a real life picture of yourself

Make sure to send it from an email you use often, because if we accept you as a contributor to the blog, the email address used to apply will be tied to your login to posting content.

We hope to hear from you soon!
