Join the Staff – You want to write for us? We’re hiring!
Are you passionate about the world of video games or the high-tech business of the video game industry? Are you eager to put your passion to good use with pen and paper (or keyboard and monitor)? If you answered yes to the above questions, then GameDwellers.com is the right place for you.
GameDwellers is dedicated to covering the latest video game news headlines, publishing the most anticipated video game reviews, and posting the most entertaining columns and editorials; but those articles aren’t going to write themselves. We need dedicated individuals, whether they are veteran writers or not, to write them.
If being a volunteer turns you away from applying, please send us an email anyway. Maybe we can give you a timetable on when paid positions will be available.
Everyone on our writing staff is a video gamer turned video game news journalist. We don’t have many requirements for our staff, but we do ask that you are dedicated, know the English language, and don’t copy the work of others.
If you are interested in applying, we look forward to hearing from you! Even though we can’t hire everybody that applies, we have still made it a priority to respond to each applicant.
