Do you love all things sports related in Detroit? Or maybe you have a favorite sports team in Detroit you’d love to write about? Well, FanSided’s Detroit Jock City has the perfect opportunity for you! Whether you want to jump start your sports-writing career or just have your unique opinions heard, this new “hub” of all things Detroit sports is the place to start. We have multiple positions available, but there filling up fast!

Part of the mission of the FanSided Network, is to encourage our community of readers to share their opinions and thoughts on their favorite teams. Our writers don’t hold back and we don’t expect our readers to either. We want to give you the best coverage and opinions on your favorite team from the fan perspective that is so often missing from traditional sports media. We believe sports coverage doesn’t have to be dry, boring and without opinion.

As a result, we are expanding the staff here at Detroit Jock City to give you more content and a broader perspective. We are currently accepting applications for an Editor and multiple Staff writers. Details after the break…

The Editor is a paid position. You’d be in-charge of the entire site and manage all the staff writers. This position requires daily updates and a certain level of maturity and experience. Apply to actually get paid to do what you love!

Staff writers are expected to submit at least one article per week. These positions are not paid, although many of our writers move into paid staff positions as vacancies and opportunities arise. Being a writer for a FanSided blog also offers excellent exposure and a chance to sharpen not only your writing skills, but your view of your favorite team. There is tremendous opportunity for growth within FanSided to those who seek it.

If you are interested in joining the staff, please submit a brief 300 – 400 word sample of your work relating to the Detroit sport scene as well as a brief bio. You can email your writing sample and bio to me at [email protected] with the subject line “Detroit Jock City Application.”

I look forward to potentially adding new people to the staff and bringing you all non-stop Tigers, Lions, Pistons, Red Wings, Spartans and Wolverine coverage.
