After a successful first month, we're now on the hunt for 3 more writers to join the DualShockers writing academy.

Interested in gaming enough to want to write about it? Have no experience in journalism, but possess a creative mind and can express yourself in a unique way through writing? What are you waiting for? Apply to become a part of the DualShockers Writers Academy – and get paid for it too.

GRV Media is one of the UK’s largest independent media companies, with over 120 website and YouTube content producers.

The company’s flagship gaming website, DualShockers, is establishing a Writers Academy Programme. Talent will be given the first opportunity into the world of games journalism, with permanent positions available for those who impress on the programme.

We are looking for individuals who have:

  • A high creative flair with an imagination to match
  • The ability to take a standard piece of news and make it stand out against the rest by giving it a unique twist - digging into the story more and offering a different perspective.
  • A flexible approach to gaming topics including a wide interest in gaming culture
  • Able to demonstrate their passion for games
  • A positive attitude, can-do mentality and a willingness to learn

And who are:

  • Self-driven and not afraid to bring fresh and innovative ideas to the table
  • Able to maintain strong time management skills
  • Can ‘think outside the box’ when it comes to writing articles
  • Driven to produce interesting, engaging and interesting content
  • Committed to producing 30 articles a month that cover unique news articles, thought-provoking listicles, engaging features, reviews and other aspects of games journalism.

What we offer:

  • Full training – no experience is required
  • A paid programme for 1-3 months
  • Commitment to supporting those that show passion to reach their full potential
  • A positive focused and friendly working environment
  • The opportunity to become a full-time staff member based on performance

This is a work-from-home role, and we are happy to receive applications from any part of the globe.
