PGG: Game Guides Writer

Posted Oct 16

Pro Game Guides is looking for experienced and enthusiastic freelance video game guide writers in specific beats. This is a fully remote position, and you can be located anywhere in the world.

The Pro Game Guides staff is a diverse international team, and we have a simple goal in mind: to help people play the games they love better with in-depth and succinct guides while fostering a kind and supportive gaming community.

We're looking for freelance beat writers to tackle game guides, with some news and reviews, for new and live-service games. Below are a list of the topics we're currently looking to add coverage for. In your cover letter, please mention one or more of the subjects below that you're most familiar with, enjoy, and can reliably cover as a dedicated beat.

Games & topics PGG is expanding coverage on:

  1. Mobile games
  2. Do you play most or all of your games from your phone? Do you know what's hot in the mobile gaming world? Can you write guides on how to become great at some of the most popular mobile games? If so, we want to hear from you!
  3. MMOs
  4. Whether you have an impressive specialty in one specific MMO or you're familiar with a lot of them, we'd like to see your application.
  5. General gaming
  6. If you're the kind of person that plays a wide variety of games and loves all (or almost all) video game genres then you'd potentially be a great fit for our general gaming beat. (Especially if you keep up-to-date with the latest releases!)

What we’re looking for in an ideal candidate:

  • 1+ years of experience in editorial writing—specifically focused on video games and game guides
  • Ability to try new games and game updates when they're released and write about them same-day
  • Passion for video games
  • Adaptability, flexibility, and a can-do attitude

Pay rate: tiers ranging from $11 to $60 per article, depending on length, article type, and scope. Ray rate may vary for international candidates based on location.

What we need from you:

  • A cover letter that describes your current level of professional writing experience & details which of the above subjects you're most familiar with
  • 1 or more links to your published writing
  • Resume

Please note: Applications without writing samples will not be considered.
