If you’ve ever dreamt about covering your favourite mobile and Switch games for a living, now’s your chance! Network N Media is looking to hire two new staff writers to expand the core Pocket Tactics team, we’re looking for one person to cover Saturday-Wednesday and another to work Monday-Friday.
Since relaunching in March of 2020, we’ve rapidly become the number one place to go for mobile and Switch gamers – and we’re only getting bigger and better. As such, we’re looking for excellent writers with a love for mobile and Switch gaming, who can create engaging guides, news, reviews, and other content tailored to our audience.
While these are entry-level positions, we’ll still need to see some published work from you, even if it’s just on your personal blog. The most important thing is that you know and can write about videogames, from premium releases to the most popular free-to-play titles around.
