Title: My foray into game journalism
Post by: ClockworkMayhem on Jan 26, 2015, 01:42 AM
Hey, everyone! I recently started writing (again) for GameSkinny's Journalism Training Program - it's like an online internship for writers, journalists, and gamers - and I thought I'd share my work with you, here.

Fair warning - while I'm a decent writer of fiction (but shy about sharing it), I'm pretty rusty when it comes to journalism, so these aren't going to be the greatest, at first. Still, I'd love it if you'd visit my articles, share them, and comment when you feel comfortable doing so and want to start a discussion on something.

You can find my profile here, with a list of all the articles I've written so far. Some aren't very recent - I won't be hurt if you skip the older stuff. <3

Also, anyone can write for GS at any time, and they regularly do JTP sessions, so if you want to give this a shot, yourself, go for it! There are incentives for page views, including pay (though it's not very much)so they also try to teach you in the JTP about using social media to promote your writing, and they share jobs in the gaming industry, particularly those that pertain to writing, pretty frequently.

I would recommend it, everyone.  They are worth the read, straight forward, and cover what journalism should be more like! (Versus what it had become in mainstream media these days.)

Sincerely,
Arya

Thanks, I appreciate it! Just posted two more articles in the past couple of days. There'll be three more by tomorrow night. If there's anything you guys want to see, let me know, be it editorials, reviews, coverage of certain games...if it isn't already covered, I'll give it a go.

New articles this week! Fewer because I've been busy, but there'll be more tomorrow! A fun one on game-inspired drinks, if anyone's interested!

Here's my latest League of Legends article - it's got over 1600 views, and it would be really awesome if I could push it up over 2000! If you like League, and you like the article, it would be awesome if you could share the link on twitter, FB, or wherever!

I'm at this again, so here are a few articles of interest!

A new Dungeons & Dragons film is in the works; let's hope this one doesn't suck!

If you enjoyed Woolfe: The Red Hood Diaries, I've got some bad news for you.

And finally, if you've been playing LEGO Worlds, keep an eye out for the patch that lets you play underwater!

And if there's anything else I've written that you find interesting or relevant on my profile page, by all means, comment and/or share it around - it really helps me a lot with my internship!
