WiC is hiring assistant editors!
UPDATE: Applications will be closed on Monday, so get them in this weekend!
Winter Is Coming is hiring!
We’re looking for 1-2 part-time Assistant Editors to add to the site’s overall coverage. Pay starts at $500/month, with potential for growth. FanSided often makes full-time hires from within, so these positions could morph into much larger roles down the road.
There are two requirements:
- Be able to write—or otherwise create—Game Of Thrones-related posts on a regular basis
- Be able to find—or break—Game Of Thrones-related news
There are also several more skills/traits/abilities/perks/characteristics/attributes/experiences which, in some combination, could be useful though no single one is necessary, after the jump…
From generally more important to less:
- Feature writing
- Interviewing
- Television and pop culture criticism (including weekly reviews/recaps)
- Experience with the Winter Is Coming community
- Video editing
- Community management
- Staff/volunteer management
- Video essays
- A Song Of Ice And Fire knowledge
- Fantasy genre expertise
- Headline writing
- Social media interaction
- Audio/podcast engineering
- Formal film analysis
- WordPress knowledge
- East coast/morning person (I am a West Coast night owl, this could be good overlap. Evening European workers also valid here.)
- Screenshot editing and animating
- and whatever else you think might be appropriate, useful, insightful, or fun. Be creative!
Please send a cover letter and whatever combination of clips, references, and resume you think is appropriate to [email protected]
WiC encourages diversity and equality, so everyone, including members of traditionally underrepresented groups, should apply. The best candidates will be chosen regardless of race, creed, gender, circumstance or environment.
(We’ll also be looking for other contributors, volunteers, and freelancers in the near future, so if you’re interested in being part of the site, but this particular role doesn’t fit for you, stay tuned.)
