• Fluency in English and excellent writing skills
• Knowledge of SEO practices, WordPress, Trello, and Google Trends

To Be Considered:

Please provide a resume, 1-3 relevant writing samples or a portfolio link (an application without a writing sample will not be considered), and a cover letter that explains your expertise in video games, telling us which games/topics you're most knowledgeable about.
