Looking for a Reviewer/Blogger

So the second Issue of The Gamer went off really well and as a result we are growing rapidly. I am looking for another reviewer to join our team...

You will be given atleast one title per month to review, probably more.
You will also be required to make blog posts everyday.

Anyone is welcome to apply
Write a 600 word mini synopsis on a new release and send it to [email protected]

Thanks
Abe

May I offer you some constructive advice?

There are ten grammatical errors in the quoted text, and one broken metaphor.

When you're producing and promoting written content of any sort, it's important to ensure a high standard of quality. To be perfectly honest, I've no interest in reading a magazine full of errors. You really need to find someone who is a competent copy editor to take care of this.

You volunteering Azi?

No. I'm a competent copy editor, sure, but I don't work for free. :P

Thanks for the advice :) For now we are doing this all on our own and we are doing the best we can.
The first issue was riddled with errors and I have been given many compliments that issue 2 has come a long way.
I dont expect to be perfect out the box, but I know in time we will get there :)

ps what is the broken metaphor?

Something can clock in at 48 hours, but not 48 pages. ;P

So because someone else said it first, it's okay? I see people everywhere writing "your" instead of "you're". Doesn't make it right. :P

Conceptually, it just doesn't make sense to "clock" a physical quantity of something.

And you're the only one who cares. I think that most would agree that clock in has come to refer to time or quantity in modern conversation or writing.

Hey whats wrong with your?
:P
