Weekend Writer Wanted

By Tim Dierkes [May 6, 2008 at 5:08pm CST]

MLB Trade Rumors is looking for another weekend contributor (it is a paid position). Here's what I'm looking for:

It's a regular shift: Sundays from 1-5pm Central Standard Time. So you have to have that chunk of your weekend free every week.
Blogging experience is a plus, especially if about baseball. If you have a baseball blog, you'll be able to link to it in your signature.
Strong spelling and grammar skills - looking for a casual style 100% free of typos and awkward sentences. You have to be able to write a post quickly but without errors and with your own insight.
Ability to write intelligently about all 30 teams without bias. The goal is for each post to add some value beyond just the facts found in the newspaper article you're linking to.
I will give pointers on gathering rumors, but proficiency with RSS feeds is preferred. You'll have to monitor your email for the entire shift, also.
Email me at mlbtrweekend@gmail.com explaining your credentials. Unfortunately I won't be able to reply to all. Thanks.

It is impossible to write without bias, sir. Well, I have no experience, but I would like to gain some. I am an exceptional writer, and I absolutely love baseball. I am in college majoring in Business with a minor in Journalism. Even if I do not qualify for this position, would you direct to someone who can provide me with experience? Thanks!
