Nerds of a Feather, Flock Together is looking for 1-2
awesome individuals to join our team of regular contributors!
Duties: posting approximately once every other week, though
the exact number will fluctuate. We would like one or both contributors to focus
on reviewing new science fiction and fantasy novels, as well as the occasional
anthology or collection of short fiction. The second contributor could
alternatively review crime/pulp fiction or mix book reviews with reviews of
cult films, TV, comics, video games or commentary on geek culture. Must be
active on twitter or willing to be active on twitter.
Benefits: free books and the potential for other free stuff,
as well as joining a dynamic team of enthusiastic nerd bloggers.
Who we’re looking for: we want someone who writes well and
doesn’t need to be copyedited. We’d like someone who appreciates our kind of
humor, understands and is ready to abide by our established format and scoring
system and otherwise “fits” with the institutional voice of the blog. We are
particularly interested in female applicants, as well as applicants with
interest in areas of SF/F that we don’t cover as completely as we could
(e.g. contemporary/urban fantasy, hard SF, short fiction, etc.). But don’t be
dissuaded from approaching us if you don’t fit neatly into either of those
categories!
Caveat: we know lots of you have awesome projects you want everyone to know about, but since these are regular contributor positions, we would like to emphasize that this would not be an appropriate forum to use for promoting that awesomeness (aside from your blogging awesomeness, of course).
Process: send an email to nerdsfeather.indiesubs@gmail.com
telling us what you are interested in doing, why and how you see yourself
fitting onto the NoaF team. Please also send a writing sample, which can be
either embedded into the body of the email or links to published work.
We will try to respond to everyone as quickly as possible. For those who appear to be the right "fit," depending on level of experience, we may ask for one or two
guest post before solidifying the relationship.
We look forward to hearing from you!
Regards,
NoaF Team
