Want to join the fast paced, cutting-edge, financially insolvent world of videogame journalism?

Then Nukezilla wants to hear from you!

Nukezilla.com, a small, but mighty, independent game blog based out of the UK (but staffed wherever) is looking for writers to add to our team.

Benefits include: Exposure, a chance to improve your writing with the help of our editorial staff, access to major industry events like PAX and E3 (travel & lodging not included), and a business card with a dinosaur on it.

Interested writers should contact our Editor-in-Chief Hans Wuerflein at:

hans [dot] wuerflein [at] gmail.com

I'd be happy to answer any questions.

    I don't think it's spam. I know there is always a big line at "Break into videogame journalism" or whatever panels at PAX, so I thought I'd let people here know we're looking.

    I mainly mean this counts as sitewhoring, which is against the rules.

    You're incentivized to buy your own donuts that you can eat all of them yourself without worrying about someone else eating them.

    Probably buy them diner or something, but to show how rare that is, a google search for "writer that doesn't drink" has this thread on the first page of results.

    Hey, if you can make it videogame related (and by this I mean actually related, not Kotaku related) then go for it.
