Our editorial team is looking for writers with 1–2 years of experience to contribute Features and Lists articles under the leadership of the Gaming Lead Editor. Screen Rant operates at a rapid pace and is seeking writers who can produce high-quality articles under time constraints. The selected candidate will have tremendous career growth and internal development opportunities within the organization.

We would love to welcome you to our community of cinephiles, gamers, and geeks!

Responsibilities:

  • Update and refresh older content as needed
  • Accept and apply any/all feedback received by the editorial team
  • Communicate openly and actively with the editorial team

Requirements:

  • A passion for the content and a drive to grow within the industry

    • This does NOT include personal blogs, college essays/dissertations, and other non-published work.
  • Broad working knowledge of popular gaming content
  • The ability to analyze content and pull directly from the source material to back up claims
  • A sharp eye for grammatical details
  • Excellent command of the English language
  • Ability to write high-quality articles with swift turn-around times
  • Comfortable working in an entirely virtual environment

Applicants with experience in the following areas will be given favorable consideration:

  • Understanding of the difference between "Features," "Lists," and "News" articles
  • Familiarity with platforms such as Asana, WordPress, and Discord
  • Image editing experience
  • SEO and Google Analytics knowledge

What Screen Rant has to offer:

  • Fully remote — write from wherever you’d like!
  • Incredible opportunities for career growth within a supportive system
  • An amazing community of like-minded people to nerd out with on a daily basis

NOTE: Only applications containing a resume and cover letter will be considered. It is essential that you demonstrate your knowledge of and passion for video games in your cover letter. You will not be considered for the role if this information is not included.

Please note that the next step involves a written evaluation. Screen Rant has a zero-tolerance policy for using artificial intelligence (AI) to produce content for the site.

We look forward to hearing from you!
