Subject: Looking for writers to cover GenCon
GamesLit, an upcoming magazine featuring literary criticism of the
medium of games, is looking for freelance writer-journalists to cover
various aspects of the upcoming GenCon for its inaugural issue.
Writers must be willing to spend a few hours of their time during the
convention talking to game designers, authors, artists, publishers,
convention organizers, and attendees. Either the skill to
write interesting, objective, newsmagazine-style content or an
outgoing, dogged persistence in uncovering a story without annoying
anyone too badly is desired. The ability to do both means you're
probably too good for this assignment, though your interest will
certainly be well-received by us.
GamesLit is looking for three writers to each cover one of the
following aspects of the show: (1) The prevailing business trends
and attitudes of GenCon and gaming in 2002, (2) independent and
alternative game creators and their work, and (3) female and minority
representation at the convention.
GamesLit is a volunteer-run publication looking to improve the
coverage of gaming and storytelling works and the specialized gaming
industry; we're interested in people enthusiastic about contributing
to this lofty goal. Payment will be 75.00$ in credit at GamesLit's
sponsoring comics/games store (product to be shipped to your
location) or one-half that total in cash; terms are flexible based on
experience.
If you have any questions about GamesLit or are interested in this
opportunity to cover GenCon, please feel free to contact me at
