If you enjoy writing and sharing your thoughts and opinions with the world, then we may have a job for you!
Who Are We?
The Outerhaven was launched in 2011 by a group of friends who wanted to record podcasts and discuss the video game scene. Since then, we have grown into the organization we are today.
We pride ourselves on providing fantastic journalism, as well as entertaining podcasts such as Spectator Mode Podcast, Nintendo Entertainment Podcast, and A-01 Anime and Manga podcast. We are an organization where budding writers and people interested in written journalism can hone their skills while writing about what they love in a professional yet friendly environment.
Why are we looking for help?
Honestly? We love what we do but find out that our ragtag team of commandos needs some backup from time to time. This is where you come in! You would be jumping onto a fire team with plenty of experience, a huge passion for what we do, and, more importantly, would love to do more than what we’re doing now. So what do you say? Want to join a successful, built-from-the-ground-up community and kick some butt?
What’s in it for you?
- A portfolio of your work that you can use and share on any website you like. It’s your work, and we want to help you shine!
- Access to events such as New York Comic-Con, San Diego Comic-Con, Dragon Con, E3, IndieCade, PAX, and more. But you have to put in the work to get access to these events!
- You will have access to review copies and screeners as we acquire them, and you will also get to keep the review copies!
- The chance to work with like-minded individuals, to form new bonds with people who enjoy writing about and discussing all things geek culture, such as video games, comics, anime, toys, and movies
Goals include:
- A minimum requirement of 3 or more posts a week, which can be news, opinion pieces, or reviews. Video producers, you will be required to supply at least 2 videos a month. E-sport reporters must keep up with current ongoings in the scene and will have different requirements.
- Expanding coverage of current and upcoming video games (all platforms), anime news and reviews, gaming and tech hardware, film and television news/reviews, and toy news and reviews.
Candidates should have:
- Excellent communication skills, including writing and editing, excellent interpersonal skills, and a high level of professionalism. Communication is key, and you must be willing to stay in contact with your team.
- Experience with WordPress, but not required. We’ll train you!
- A willingness to learn from and, in turn, teach what you have learned to others.
- It is important to love what you do. If you’re not passionate about this type of work or hobby, it will show in your work.
All candidates would report to the management team!
