Reminder: Columnist application deadline today!
Maybe you're aware that WoW.com is looking for a few new columnists and maybe you aren't -- but it matters not, because this post is for all of you. For those of you in the know, consider this a reminder: we're only accepting columnist applications until the end of the day today (specifically: Friday, January 15th, 11:59PM EST). For those of you not in the know, we're looking to bring in new weekly columnists for: druids (balance/restoration), paladins (holy), shamans (enhancement/restoration), lore, and addons. Does this sound like the chance of a lifetime? Read onward for all the details.
Druid, paladin, and shaman columnists
Every week you will dazzle our readers with your words of wisdom covering everything from leveling guides to raid tactics to PvP strats to major patch analysis to recommended addons. You will be covering these topics for talent specs listed above. Allison Robert will continue to cover the feral specs for the druid column, Gregg Reece will continue to cover protection and retribution specs for the paladin column, and Michael Sacco will be covering elemental for the shaman column.
AddOn/UI columnist
You will post a weekly AddOn Spotlight as well as the weekly Reader UI of the Week. We are specifically looking for a columnist who can write about the features of popular and useful addons in a way that is understandable and entertaining for the average player. For application purposes, you only need to submit a sample for AddOn Spotlight. Knowledge of macros is also expected.
Lore columnist
The successful lore columnist for WoW.com will focus on updating our extensive library of lore related material, as well as help create new lore-based content each week. With Cataclysm hitting, the WoW.com lore columnist will work with other members of the team on lore related features and guides. We are specifically seeking a person who has deep understanding of all of Warcraft's lore, and knows how to communicate the complexities of the lore in both an entertaining and knowledgeable fashion. Please see the specific requirements for the lore columnist on our application page.
Still interested? You'll find all the information you need to apply on our applications page. Be sure to submit everything asked for. Being able to follow simple instructions is part of the job. Again, you only have until end of today, Friday, January 15th to send in your application, so get to it!
