Write With Us

Have a passion for games? Want to write with us about them? We want to hear from you. We’re always looking for people to help out.

Nitchigamer is a video game site that strives for quality in everything we do. If you’re a passionate and talented creator, we want to hear from you. We’re currently looking for gaming experts to join our growing team. Our available positions are as follows:

News writers

We need writers who can focus on Nintendo, niche and indie game news of the week. These experts will instinctively know what gamers want to hear. The emphasis here is on quality, not quantity.

Reviewers and Feature Writers

We need game reviewers who are comfortable in long-form writing and love to analyse the games they play. Our feature pieces will vary in length, but we’re looking for creativity here. We’re also not expecting you to churn out pieces.

“If you’re a passionate and talented creator, we want to hear from you”.

Compensation

All positions are unfortunately voluntary for now – all of us do it for our passion – but you will receive free video games and feedback that helps you to grow as a writer.

Applications

Interested? Please send an email to nitchigamer@gmail.com clearly stating what position you’re applying for in the subject line. Here’s what each job requires:

  • News writers – a fresh sample of your writing (250-450 words) written on anything newsworthy that has happened in the past five days. If your sample is good enough, we will also publish this as your first piece for the site.
  • Reviewers and Feature writers ­­– a fresh sample of your writing (500-1000 words) that sells your creativity; show your passion for gaming. Maybe that’s an existential analysis of your favourite game. Maybe it’s something else. If your sample is good enough, we will also publish this as your first piece for the site.

N.B. If you haven’t heard from us straight away, relax – we consider all applications with care and attention to detail.
