Description

Filmonic is a three year old movie blog that receives over 150,000 hits a month. We are looking for 2-3 new knowledgeable writers to post the latest movie news, trailers, and reviews.

- Filmonic is run on a blogging platform called Wordpress. If you’ve had experience with Wordpress in the past then that’s a plus, however if not it’s quite simple to use. I’ll gladly teach you how to use it if you need help.

- Ideally you would be able to write around 5 posts per week, however we value quality rather than quantity. We'd prefer you to write one great post a week, rather than 10 half hearted posts that could barely be considered ‘news’.

- Filmonic mainly covers blockbusters such as Spider-Man, The Hobbit and Iron Man. However, if the movie looks good then feel free to post about it.

- It doesn’t matter how old you are or where you live. As long as you can write a coherent sentence and know your stuff when it comes to films then you’ll be considered.

- If you are chosen you will have a month ‘trial period’ where I will check your posts before publishing them. After that period is over you will be able to publish news whenever you like, and you will be paid for each post. It won’t be anything life changing, but it’ll probably pay for you to see Avatar in IMAX 3D again. Possibly even twice!

How to apply

If you are still interested after reading all the above then send an email entitled ‘Write for Filmonic’ to contactfilmonic[at]gmail.com with the following:

- Your name along with a few sentences about yourself. Where you live, your movie interests etc.

- If you have past experience writing for a blog or website (include links)

- Two original writing samples between 200-500 words long. Pick movie news topics from the past month or so and pretend you’re are writing them for Filmonic (if you’re into movies, pretending should be easy!)

- A list of 5 movie sites or blogs you read on a regular basis.
