Writers Wanted

VLR.gg is looking for some additional writers to add to our team. If you are interested, please reach out to us at spryt@vlr.gg with at least one sample piece and at least one active social media or forum account, as well as a Discord ID for us to contact you.

Here's what we're looking for in potential writers:

• We're primarily seeking news writers, although interested feature writers are welcome to reach out as well.
• We need people from any and every region. We could use more help for our NA + EU coverage, but we'd also like to improve our coverage of other regions, as well.
• You must have strong English skills. If you're unsure if your skills are good enough, go ahead and apply anyway.

What to expect from us:

• We'll onboard you and then train you, and will look to improve your skills through feedback and editing
• A small bit of pay per article
• This isn't a job with set hours, hour requirements, or workload expectations. Obviously, if you're going to apply we think you plan to at least be available to write several articles a month in the immediate future; however, we understand that you will likely have school, work, etc and will also have a life where you want to do fun things (maybe play VALORANT and get mad at your team-flashing Skye?). Come into this expecting you will need to take several hours out of each month for this, not 20+.

What we want to see from you in your email:

• At least one sample of your writing. If you don't have any writing already published online, write up an example piece (make up a story -- if you need an idea give us a story about a Korean org signing a full roster from Brazil). Your sample(s) have to be a news piece or a feature piece, and if your sample is unpublished then write up a Valorant news piece specifically.
• A link to at least one social media account or forum account. This is for a basic character check before we even begin talking to you. Don't send us a link to an account that has been opened up in the last week, that's going to immediately make us suspicious.
• A Discord ID! It will be easiest to get the ball rolling if we can just reach out to you on Discord. Make it even easier for us by joining the VLR Discord (link at the bottom of the site).

Hope to hear from you soon!

EDIT: We've already received a ton of responses, and it's only been a day! It's going to take quite a bit of time to go through everything, so please be patient. I expect it should be a couple of weeks before I can start getting back to people.

Thanks everyone for your interest! We've already got a lot of applications, so I want to give you all a heads up that it may take a couple of weeks to go through them all. Sorry I can't review you all and send out responses in the next day -- I wish I could! Just give us a little patience and we'll start getting back to everyone.

Good luck to those who have applied :)

I am going to apply, hope it’s not too late!

Applied, I hope it works.

Incoming VLR user application spam with their writing "piece" being a link to a comment they made where they Ratio'd someone

I'm going to apply

Deadass, I would be down to this but unfortunately I would barely find the time! Especially with med school and NSE games for the Uni, I really don't know if I would find the time but if there is any other way I can be involved with vlr that would be great.

I will be disappointed if DELUSIONAL_POTTER_FAN doesn't apply

@Sprouts
@iKyoto

id love to apply but school would get in the way

I got 1st place in a feature writing competition in elementary, does that count?

hoping i get a response, writing esports articles always was my dream!

Can I write for over.gg instead?

I put mine in pretty late
Hope you'll still consider it :D

I'm a professional freelance writer with years of experience...deciding whether to send stuff in though. Hmmmmm.
