TL Recruiting Heroes Writers

With the Fall Championships just around the corner, we're looking for new writers to contribute to our team and give their voice to the Heroes community. We want bright and creative individuals who love the scene and have more than a few opinions to share. If you live and breathe Heroes and know how to talk the talk, this is your chance to be heard.

Heroes of the Storm Writer

Description: Writers are responsible for writing previews, recaps, features, and other written content for TeamLiquid's Heroes of the Storm coverage. In the case of previews and recaps, it is crucial that they are written in a timely manner. Writers must be able to write both concisely and at length, depending on the situation. The ability to recognize and develop narratives is also a must. Knowledge of the scene is important, but more important is a willingness to work hard and accept criticism . Positions are not paid and are on a strictly voluntary basis.

How to Apply:

Send a PM to KadaverBB or Vaalia on teamliquid containing the following information:

• Your TeamLiquid.net ID and Skype information. For coordination purposes, we require writers to use Skype.
  
• Short introduction and relevant background information as it pertains to this position. Please do not send resumes.
  
• Availability and desired workload.
  
• Applications are open indefinitely.
  

One test writing assignment must also be completed

Pick one of the following

• A tournament preview (500-1000 words) -Write an article previewing some future tournament . The preview should not preview the entire event if there are many competitors, but should cover a main storyline leading into the tournament. A main storyline includes, but is not limited to, looking at a tournament favorite or popular player going into the event, looking at a team going into the event and any tournament specific storylines
  
  
• A tournament Recap (600-800 words) - Write a concise recap on the events of a single day in a major tournament. This is NOT a battle report assignment. Try to tell an interesting story about the tournament and players as a whole, rather than listing the details of several matches. The above examples are only references, feel free to be creative with your style. Any tournament may be chosen as the subject.
  
  
• An article of your choice (500-1000 words) - if neither of these ideas appeal to you, write something you think is interesting and that people would like to read, be it a team focus piece or a Hero guide for your favorite hero. Give me enough meat to properly judge
  

Remember, these pieces will be judged on knowledge, content and writing style. No previous experience required. Applications will remain open indefinitely. Good luck have fun!

Remember that like most staff positions this is strictly a volunteer unpaid position, the reward is having your writing read and working closely with really awesome people.

Full Disclosure: As you may be aware, we also do some contracted writing for Blizzard. There articles are paid for by Blizzard and are assigned based on merit and availability.

Good Luck Applicants!
