PCGamesN – that’s us! – is looking for a freelance news writer to find and cover the biggest and bestest PC gaming news stories during UK evening hours. This is a full-time gig that pays £25,000 per annum through regular monthly commissions, and would suit someone who already has a bit of experience writing news.
You’ll be working alongside another experienced writer to cover the goings-on of the industry during the evening shift, which is 4pm to midnight UK time. The timing would be ideal for someone based on the west coast of America, though we’re talking applications globally as long as you can work the hours. The expectation is five stories per shift, unless otherwise agreed with the News Editor.
So what are we looking for in our future evening news writer? With a talent for writing, you’ll be able to find the story in everything from a press release, to a live stream, to a Reddit comment thread. You will understand and be able to write exciting copy about the latest triple-A games, long-standing favourites, niche PC gems, business dealings, and all the weird and wonderful things that gaming communities get up to. You’ll also know where to find these stories, and be able to write them up in a timely, authoritative, and accurate manner.
Though you’ll work outside our regular office hours, you’ll be part of the team and make a critical contribution to the site’s success. As such, you’ll participate in our virtual office through Slack, reporting to the News Editor and Editor. You’ll receive regular feedback to help you improve and plenty of support to get you up to speed.
All eligible candidates are encouraged to apply, though we’re particularly eager to hear from writers from BIPOC, LGBTQ, and other underrepresented
