Hello all!

(Sidenote, yes I am crossposting this with the r/macgaming reddit, since I am trying to get the most response possible.)

I posted on here quite awhile ago (perhaps a year or so) about wanting Mac gaming writers/creators. I got a great response, and have retained several of those folks to this day. But I am posting here again because I am looking for more! This would be for the MacGameCast website: http://www.macgamecast.com

The original call is here, but basically I just want more people. There’s a TON of mac gaming news/content possibilities in 2016, mostly due to the fact that a crazy amount of games are being released for Mac this year! Awesome for Mac gamers, but what would be more awesome is if we could cover them more for the Mac gaming community. I do as much as possible, but definitely could use more more people!

If anyone is interested please email me at jon@macgamecast.com or use the contact form from the site: http://www.macgamecast.com/contact and use the "writer application" category. Include some basic details about yourself, any writing experience (fine if none) and computer specs.

I am looking for any/all availability. Sometimes people can post stuff several times a week, sometimes once a month. I'm glad to utilize whatever time people are happy to spend.

See below for the kind of content I am looking for and some perks!

Mostly I am interested in the following:
  • News posts
  • Reviews/Previews/Impressions
  • Developer interviews!
  • Features/Column writing. For example..WINE/Crossover tutorials, a technical beat..thematic games, Music in games..free to play/top lists..and so on.
  • Video gameplay/tutorials/impressions, etc
  • Game guides/tips & tricks
  • Community stuff, like sales/deals, polls, wallpapers, etc.
  • Your own ideas!
Perks of being a writer here:
  • I am willing to pay people a nominal fee (somewhere in the range of $5, possibly a bit more) for quality, consistent work. (Note, not every little post counts, anything reasonable does though.) I realize this isn’t much, but keep in mind no other Mac gaming site pays anyone, they are all volunteer. When I can afford more, I’ll gladly pay writers more! (Although if you are a rich blighter, feel free to volunteer.)
  • Censor-free. Outside of ensuring a piece reads smoothly and cleanly, there shouldn't be any reason to modify your work.
  • Direct access. If you can prove you do not require oversight or editing, you will have the requisite permissions to directly publish content as you have it. (Including any absurd images you may wish to include with it.)
  • Your own blog to write about anything you please so long as it is game related. Interesting pieces will get put on the front page.
  • Free games! I get a fair amount of codes to review games. You will too in exchange for a review.
  • The option to co-host or partake in the MGC Podcasts.
  • The joy of helping out the ever-growing awesome Mac gaming community!

Thanks for reading and have a great day :)
