Hey kids!!!
While the rest of the economy is kind of tanking, we're still doing pretty good around here, and that's in large part due to the awesomeness of you readers. Thank you for your loyalty and your e-friendship. You guys make my day, every day.
I know that you guys want to see more frequent posting, and I can appreciate that. I want to do everything I can do accommodate that, but it's tricky because I'm a one-man show during the weekdays, and this job isn't actually as easy as it looks. So, in the next month or so, Wendie is going to start helping me out during the weekdays -- no, I am not leaving, you'll just get more frequent updates from Evil Beet Gossip in general during the week.
As such, we're looking to hire a weekend writer again. This is a PAID position. The requirements haven't changed:
- Weekend availability
- Comprehensive knowledge of and love for celebrity gossip
- Strong, well-developed, unique writing voice
- Impeccable spelling and grammar
- computer know-how (you don’t have to be a genius, but you need to know your way around a computer and be able to use some basic image editing software)
- You must be at least 18 years old
- You must either have a mailing address in the U.S. or able to accept payment via PayPal
If you applied last time, please feel free to apply again. You will not be penalized for using the same writing samples, although you are, of course, welcome to change them up.
If you have a blog, please send me the link to it, even if it's not about celebrity gossip. I definitely found going through applications last time that I gave priority to the people who submitted their blogs -- it's just the best way for me to see how you write for an Internet audience.
If you don't have a blog, or if you feel your blog isn't a complete representation of your writing, please send along writing samples. Again, the samples can be about anything, but obviously I'm looking for something that shows off your voice and sense of humor.
Applications should be sent to evilbeet@gmail.com with the subject line "EB Job Application." If you send it with a different subject line it will probably not get looked at. Deadline is 5 pm PST on Monday, January 13. />Hey kids!!!
