WRITERS WANTED – join The Spectator’s View writing team today!

Posted on November 2, 2014 by Harry Savill (Editor) in The Spectator's View // 0 Comments

Aspiring football journalist? Informed fan? Esteemed blogger? The Spectator's View is always looking for talented new writers. If you have the knowledge, experience and stories to tell about Newcastle United and would like to share your views as a football fan then we’d love to have you on board.

We currently welcome over 30,000 page views a month and have had just over 700,000 all time page views, so we do offer a good platform for your writing. We deal exclusively in unique, opinion-based content, instead of recycling the generic crap you read in the tabloids. We’ve attracted the likes of Gillette and Carlsberg to advertise on the site and we’re hoping to enlarge our influence on the football blogosphere over the coming months.

We’re willing to give our writers a free role (let them source their own stories) or set the agenda for them by giving them topics or headlines to write around. We’re here to offer you support and hopefully help you develop as a writer.

If you’re not interested in a blogging role, we’re also currently looking for someone to help handle our Social Media outlets; essentially, to keep our Twitter page (https://twitter.com/thespectoview) up to date, stimulate debate and to keep our +2000 followers informed on news coming out of the club.

And it doesn’t particularly matter if you’re not a Newcastle fan; many of our writers support other teams, but haven’t found it too hard to write on Newcastle, seeing as unfortunately there’s quite a lot of controversy to comment about!

If you think you’d like to get involved please do feel free to send a trial 400-700 word article on any topic/event in the footballing world to harry.savill@googlemail.com. If you need inspiration check out the website for the kind of articles we publish.

Overall it’s about having fun and expressing your views on a platform which can be viewed by thousands of fans just like you.

We look forward to hearing from you!
