It should be noted that we are looking to hire a part-time editor who is expected to write as well as edit other people’s work.
Ani.me is also currently looking for regular contributors, columnists, artists, and collaborators. Interested parties should contact us at twitter (anidotme or animeev) or via email at info[at]ani.me.
What we’re looking for: We are looking for a group of contributors and columnists to provide us with regular content be it news, features, video posts, podcasts, reviews, or interviews.
What it means to you: A chance to help us not only build our site from the ground floor up but to help us establish ani.me’s tone and editorial stance. We are not a conglomerate, but we are not a teenager’s blog either. This is a great chance for anybody with a deep interest in Japanese pop culture to build up their resume and get some quality exposure and face time with the industry. Japanese music, anime, movies, art, TV, travel, food, games… all are game for coverage.
Ideally you’d be contributing a written piece every two to three days, if not more. Following twitter feeds, PR releases, and contacting responsible parties are all parts of the gestalt. Journalism students are especially welcome to apply: print’s dead, and this is the most real writing experience you can get where it’s not some dude screaming at you all the time. Our staff has well over a decade of experience and are looking for a few good team members to help out.
What’s GOOD: Articulate, striking, concise, well-researched, funny, and singular articles with a good design and most importantly a TAKE on something. Our editorial staff doesn’t have to agree with your opinion pieces, but we expect that they’ll be worth reading. Novel news pieces, good snags about upcoming releases, TIMELY reviews or special interest pieces et al are fantastic. We’re trying to make an awesome community of awesome people who are driven, motivated, and stoked to write and report about Japanese and geek pop culture in general, and we are looking to find people who are into that.
What’s BAD: Livejournal cough syrup blogging with no point. Directionless rants that go nowhere. Needlessly sophomoric writing that celebrates its own juvenilia. Super-stern research work that may as well be written on a stone tablet. Long wind-bag pieces that are barely about their topic. Articles that need 4 rewrite passes or edits. Something that reads like a laundry list. Old “news” pieces about things that are no longer timely or useful to the fanbase. Retrospectives are cool, but stories that meant something 3 months ago? Not so much.
Basically: would you be excited to show this to people? If so, awesome! If not, can we make it awesome?
What’s in it for you: Solid credits, a byline, a place to publish your work regularly, a chance to get your work out there, good references for graduating students or contributors, and goodies to review. We are currently NOT paying contributors, which is why we don’t ask you to write a draconian number of pieces a week, but we do give out tons of free promo, dvds, badges to events, and press-only goodies.
