Think you can write?

Postblink is looking for contributing authors interested in writing about politics, opinions, music, movies, technology, science, and more. The sky’s the limit, provided you can put together sentences and they’re not drama-filled rants about your emo ex-boy/girlfriend’s poor dying dog.

Specifically we’re looking for thought provoking articles about life as a young adult and authors that can express the way our generation views society and culture. We’re mostly interested in guys and girls in the age range of 18-25ish. You do not have to be a college student to contribute to Postblink. You do not have to share any other member’s ideas or have common opinions on things. You do have to be respectful with counter-opinions.

It is not important that you have perfect grammar or writing skills. If you feel that you can contribute valuable articles, I will take care of the editorial aspect of things. You do have to have, at the very least, the ability to string together sentences that don’t require a decoder mechanism to be interpreted. Previous writing experience is great, but not required.

If interested please contact me at lucasj218 AT gmail DOT com with the subject “Postblink Author”. Please include in your message at least your first name, interests and a short paragraph about why/what you’d like to contribute to the site.

If accepted I will get back to you with how to create an account here, if you haven’t already, and some basic instructions for logging in and posting. After your account is made I will set up your author privledges.

Earlier in the year I tested the idea of multiple authors contributing with some close friends, and this is simply an expansion of that. I would encourage you to contact me only if you’re willing to post at least every other week, however you will be allowed to post as often as you want.

Welcome, n00bs.

The general feel and design of the site has been (and is still) going through several changes lately – one of which was to support the introduction of new contributors on Postblink. Now I can officially say that my friends Craig and Hayley will be posting articles.

The entire purpose of bringing them on board was to get some new and more diverse opinions on music, movies, politics, and life in general on the site. That also means that articles on Postblink won’t neccesarily be the shared views of all the writers beind the scenes. You may agree, disagree, and even get angry at the new content to come – deal with it.

That’s the point afterall, isn’t it?

We’re still considering adding more authors here, so if you’re interested you can still contact me at staff@lucasj.net or any other form of contact you have for me.
