Want to Write News for Film-Book dot Com?

Do you enjoy reading Film-Book dot Com? Do you enjoy writing? Do you have a vast knowledge of film that borders on obsessive and in non-geek circles, disturbing? Can you articulate your perspective on film news in an entertaining and interesting way? If the answer to any or the majority of these questions is: “Yes”, you may be “one of the few, the proud” whom we are looking for to write news for Film-Book dot Com. Here is what we are looking for in the position:

• We want someone who is able to produce around 2 articles per day, mostly in the hours between 7 a.m. est and 2 p.m. est.

• We want someone who will write Film News / Editorials articles, NOT Film Reviews.

• Each article you write will be around 250-500 words, unless you are posting a Film Trailer.

• While the position will start as a freelance, if things go well, there exists the possibility that the situation could solidify and become long-term.

• Applicants should be easily reachable by phone (incl/text) or IM during business hours.

• E-mail your application to us at filmbook[at]film-book[at]com. In the subject line, write “Film-Book dot Com News Writing Application.” Anyone unable to follow this simple instruction will be instantly disqualified from consideration. Your application should include the following:

• Please include two (2) original writing samples. These should be articles on two pieces of film news that you found particularly interesting this week. In other words, this is your defacto resume (no “cover letters” please). We want to see how you would write if you came on board writing news for Film-Book dot Com.

• No “formal” resume is required, but if you have one that you believe is relevant to news writing, please attach it as well. Be sure to describe your experience and your interest in this position.

• If you have past experience writing for a website or a weblog, please include a few of your best links that demonstrate your highest quality work in your email.

Please realize that it will be impossible for us to respond to all of the e-mailed applications. We apologize for this in advance, but we will read through every application e-mail. If we like your e-mail, we will respond to it at our earliest convenience.
