Looking for a writer (or two). *UPDATE*

June 10, 2009

UPDATE : Thanks for all of the responses. I have all the writing samples I need now, and I’m getting very close to making final decisions. Applications are now closed.

With working two jobs and blogging for mtvU, I haven’t had as much time as I’d like to dedicate to this blog. I find myself in a tricky situation, because I’m very much a strong believer of quality over quantity, but I’d also like to feature more new bands / album reviews / live reviews on here. The solution I’ve come to is add a writer (or two) to the Music For Kids Who Can’t Read Good staff. Interested? Read on:

I’m now officially seeking a guy / gal with excellent music taste and formidable writing skills for one or two posts a week. Since my ad revenue is next to zilch these days, I unfortunately can not offer monetary compensation. What I can give you, though, is the opportunity to share your thoughts and opinions on music to the world (your posts will, potentially, reach thousands of people). You also get access to lots of free music / concert guest lists. Plus there’s that warm, fuzzy you get from supporting good music and it’s a great way to sharpen your writing skills (and it’s fun).

If you’re interested, submit a short writing sample to my email: musicforants@mac.com (with a subject line that’ll stand out). Nothing fancy just a paragraph or two would be fine. Feel free to include a little bit about yourself and any questions you may have as well. If you can take half-decent concert photo that’s a huge bonus. I’m really looking forward to reading these and (hopefully) working with some of you. Thank you!
