We’re looking for a co-writer to turn raw advice from game development experts and turn them into high-quality long-form written content to join our team.

What’s in it for you?

• Work with video game development professionals (and learn how some of your favorite games are made)
• Learn about organic blog-style content marketing
• Improve your writing
• Money (obviously)

You are someone who:

• Cringes when they see grammar mistakes in major publications

• Please provide (published preferred) writing examples formatted similar to the examples provided above
• Is always reliable and punctual
• A strong communicator:
  • Can clearly articulate your feedback with subject matter experts
  • Can actively listen to feedback (don’t have to repeat the same back but do nothing)
• Practice using tools to improve your content creation efficiency: Grammarly, any generative Ai tool, Ai content checkers, SurferSEO/Clearscope/etc

CAVEATE: We embrace the use of any technology used to create content. However, we do not tolerate crappy robotic / cookie-cutter (Ai-sounding) content with little to no human effort. So the balance we’re looking for is the ability to be efficient without sacrificing quality.

• An avid gamer, who has an interest in how games are made
• Have some game development background including: any related degree, any game engine experience (Unity, Unreal, Gadot, etc), made tabletop games, modding games, Dungeon Master for DnD, or any other TTMORPGs.

You will be doing the following:

• Outline topics with SEO practices
• Take experts’ answers and organize them into easy-to-ready and nuanced visual blog posts
• Communicate with graphic designers and contributing experts to source missing information and content
• Write blog posts from scratch
• Clean up basic spelling and grammar issuesNOTE: We’ll provide any necessary training to adapt to our process

If we’re a good fit, your role can evolve to stable contracts/employment such as:

• Prioritized writer (Steady and prioritized writing opportunities)
• Content optimizer (Grammar, SEO, reader experience, conversion optimization)
• Lead content designer
• Content manager

Requirements:

• Have the capacity to create at least 1 publishable long-form blog post per week
