Wiz of Awes is FanSided’s home for the best fan-written content on the Washington Wizards and we want to add your voice to the mix.
Are you a passionate Washington Wizards fan with opinions on all things involving the team, its players, and decisions? Are you looking for a place to carve out your niche as a future sportswriter and want to get your work out there for the world to see?
Then look no further. Wiz of Awes is looking to add new contributors to its team and we want your voice!
Wiz of Awes has always had the goal of providing the best analysis, opinions, and news on the Wizards. We’ve constantly wanted to provide our readers with the best possible discussion points and we have strived to build a vibrant community around our goal of taking the conversation beyond just the news and recaps provided by other outlets. That has led us to endless paths to cover and we need your help to do so.
Wiz of Awes is looking to fill multiple contributor roles on site and this is the perfect time for the casual reader to turn into the passionate writer.
Expectations
We like to let our staff write about the aspects of the team they are most passionate about. There’s room to overview the previous seasons, preview the upcoming ones, or even discuss what it will take for the team to get back on top. Or even just chipping in on game previews, roundtable discussions, or helping with a number of other potential story ideas, there could be a place for you here on the team.
Writers are asked to contribute 1-2 posts per week. We’ll always welcome more frequent contributions than that, but we won’t require it.
We know that for most this is mostly a hobby and something you do for the love of it. That’s why we do it too, as most of us have families, full-time careers, and/or school to balance into our lives as well (there’s room for things besides sports, right?). This is an opportunity to join a staff of writers here who are just simply passionate about the Wizards and want to continue to reach the rest of this great fan base.
Want to join us?
Applying is very easy. Head on over and complete an application. It’ll give you a chance to share some insight into your background (prior online writing experience is not necessary but always encouraged), a pertinent writing sample, and let us know why you’d be a fit on site, so give it your best. We’ll be in touch from there.
If you have any questions about the roles, please feel free to email our recruiting director, Kyle Franzoni, at kyle.franzoni@fansided.com with any questions
