We are looking for writers!!
« on: October 02, 2014, 12:06:10 pm »
Fancy yourself as a short-form writer on Arcade related stories?

In the coming months a small team of us will be putting together a new Arcade focused web magazine at the Arcade Icons web site. We are looking for additional volunteer writers to create engaging, fun articles based in Arcade Collecting, Restoring, Nostalgia, Product Reviews, Opinion Pieces, Arcade History etc etc.

If you'd like to try your hand at penning some short stories to be featured in the magazine and on the Arcade Icons Facebook page then reply to this topic with a 'PM Sent' and send me a message to let us know what you'd like to write about.

Suggested topics are

- Personal Nostalgia Stories
- Obscure Arcade History
- Product Reviews
- General Pinball
- General Arcade
- Restorations
- Buying a Game Pick-up stories

or anything else you can think of that would engage the Arcade community.

Pieces need to be 300+ words, all stories published will have the writer's credit included.
