Administrators Marc 12,455 Posted October 20, 2015 Administrators Share Posted October 20, 2015 As StereoNET has grown, so to have our obligations and demand for covering the latest products, reviews, news and articles on anything HiFi, HeadFi, Home Theatre, Lifestyle and Automation. We're looking to further grow our Editorial Team, and as such we're putting out the call for those that are interested in writing. This is a paying gig - and extensive experience in all things audio-visual, along with an aptitude for writing is essential. It's not full time, it's not even part time. It's casual, and you can work within your available hours and around existing employment. If this is something that interests you, please contact me directly via PM, with perhaps any links to previous work or writing (even if it's not HiFi related) that we can look at. Looking forward to hearing from you! 2 Link to post Share on other sites

As part of the grand plan ... yes! I'm committed to growing our database of product reviews, but particularly more opinion pieces and articles. We want to be regularly publishing interesting and thought provoking content, and generally getting readers excited about our hobby and industry. It's not about quantity, it's about a broad mix and quality writing. @@Yamaha Man - you're in. Link to post Share on other sites

Mate i know you got it under control bit here are some tips on how to write good. 1: Avoid alliteration. Always. 2: Prepositions are not words to end sentences with 3: Avoid cliches like the plague. They're old hat. 4: Comparisons are as bad as cliches 5: Be more or less specific 6: Writers should never generalize SEVEN: Be consistent 8: Dont be redundant; dont use more words than necessary; its highly superfluous 9: Who needs rhetorical questions 10: Exaggeration is a billion times worse than understatement Link to post Share on other sites
