You spend every waking hour reading or playing with the latest technology and then when you go to bed all you do is dream about it, right? We know that deep down you've got a burning desire to write for Neowin. You can't deny it. All your life you've waited for a chance to write for one of the fastest growing technology blogs on the Internet, right?

Here is your chance.

Neowin is looking to expand our news team and is looking for a few good writers. As a news writer, you'll be expected to:

• Contribute to the news on a regular basis. (4+ postings per week)
• This should be a given, but a passion for technology is required.
• Be proficient in English. We're not asking for you to be the next William Shakespeare, but proper grammatical skills are a must. (Spell check is your friend.)
• Be able to take criticism, both from our members and from editors.
• Be able to work independently, but with some guidance from editors and other staffers.

You will be able to choose (for the most part) what you want to write about, as long as it is within the key areas of the site. These positions would be contributing original stories to the front page in any of the following key subjects:

• Microsoft
• Apple
• Linux
• Hardware
• Gaming
• Networking/Security
• Gadgets & Smartphones
• General Technology
• Editorials & Opinion
• Product Reviews

This is a paid position, freelance, per original article.

That said, if being a bigger part of Neowin is something you'd like to do, contributing directly to the content that feeds the site is an excellent way of doing so.

In your application, please include:

• Your full name
• Your forum name
• Short bio/resume outlining any writing experience that you may have. (Note: Previous experience is NOT required, just talent and drive.)
• Short example of your writing ability.

Interested candidates should e-mail editors@neowin.net.

Thanks,
Michael Stanclift (Marshalus)

Good luck to all who apply.

Applied twice before and never heard anything so I won't be this time but good luck to all that apply!

If you applied before, please do apply again. Shane (Editor in Chief) was looking through the applications before but he has been swamped with his business expansion so he may have not been able to get back to you. I will personally be reviewing each application and let you know either way if we're interested. If you don't hear back from me it's because you got tagged as SPAM or something

I may give this a go.

Just wondering... Is somebody with an 80% warning level and a Mac forum restriction apply to write about Apple products?

You can apply no matter what the restrictions or warnings are on your account. As long as you can write a non-biased article about Apple where you aren't constantly bashing Microsoft or something else...I'd say give it a go.

Never hurts to try guys.

I may apply again then, maybe its about time after 6 years on this forum time to give something back

It's too late rappeh, we have been red-flagged

No harm in trying

I will probably apply since I do know alot about technology.

Applied.

No, not him!

He will sneak some TV-Show reference in whenever possible!

It will be nice to see some new names on the news posts.

I'm quite interested in applying, I'd like to try and write some original linux articles, as well as some general technology stuff. I'll hopefully have some time over the weekend to apply

Applied =)
