Since January 2012, I have ran The Daily SuperHero as its founder, owner, editor and only writer. The Daily SuperHero is now growing faster than ever so today I am happy to announce The Daily SuperHero is at a point in its online existence where a few new writers are needed.
If you're a fan of the type of coverage The Daily SuperHero is now planning to cover, then I welcome you with open arms as long as you can prove your writing chops to me. This means I need to see a short resume (or link to your LinkedIn page) with your past writing experience.
This is a non-paying gig.
So... what content am I looking for coverage on? I am looking for new writers who will be covering the following TV beats:
- GOTHAM (Fox)
- AGENTS OF SHIELD (ABC)
- AGENT CARTER (ABC)
- ARROW (CW) — [Update: Position has been filled.]
- THE FLASH (CW) — [Update: Position has been filled.]
- LEGENDS OF TOMORROW (CW)
- SUPERGIRL (CBS)
You need to be able to write compelling, original and unique content on your own as well use some aggregated content from websites who publish breaking news. Standardized recaps or reviews of episodes are not wanted; your coverage should be something not found on other websites. Add your own opinion, theories, predictions of upcoming events, potential effects of something big that happened, etc., etc. to your post.
If you are brought on to cover any of these TV beats your main requirement is to provide one article per week while a show is airing and in season. When a show is not in season, then you're responsible for posting at least two articles per month. Your weekly contribution should be ready for publishing within 48 hours of a new episode airing.
If you have interest, please email me at thedailysuperhero@gmail.com so we can begin a line of communication but please send your writing resume or link to your LinkedIn page in your initial email along with a short recap of your writing past and passion for covering one of these topics (kind of like a short cover letter). If there's interest based on your past experience, a sample post assignment will be sent by me within 48 hours of your email being sent. Please note: If you are requested to provide a sample post, that sample may also qualify for publishing on The Daily SuperHero regardless of if you are brought in to cover that beat.
While this is not a paid gig it will be resume worthy if you are brought on. My past editorial experience with major sports websites will be put to good use to help guide (and somewhat train) you to make sure you can provide clean copy which doesn't need much editing each week.
I look forward to hearing from those who are interested and the cutoff date for applying is the end of the day on September 30, 2015.
Good luck!
Daniel Wolf
Founder and Publisher, The Daily SuperHero
