Thank you to all who have submitted applications to be our weekend writer here on EB. Many of them have been awesome. You guys rock so hard. I’ve gotten quite a few emails with questions, and they’re all pretty much the same questions. So here are the answers:
1) You must be at least 18 years old for this position. This is not because I don’t think people younger than that can be fantastic and competent writers — it’s because every now and then there are some naked photos and sex tapes involved in this job, and I just think it’s safer if everyone I’m paying is an adult.
2) I don’t care where you live. You don’t have to be in LA, Seattle or even the United States. However, if you live overseas, you must be able to accept payment through PayPal, because I’m not mailing your check to Australia. (No offense to Australia.)
3) I’m not going to tell you what kinds of writing samples to submit. Consider what the job is and use your best judgment.
The rest of the qualifications and submission instructions are here. The application deadline is Friday, September 26.
How about 17 and 7 months Beet? ;P
Do looks count? If I sent you a pic of myself, would that help my chances?
