Writers and Journalists wanted for a new site...

Hey guys and girls,

I chose this as the first place to introduce our new site and as the first place to look for journalists.

As a frequenter of this site and especially this section of the forum I have become quite familiar with a lot of the users and have gotten to know quite a few of you personally. So, naturally, because this is a site based on people's nightlives I figured who better to ask first then those people who I've gotten to know through and around Vancouver's nightlife.

So here it is... www.edrink.net

Doesn't look like much for NOW but we have big plans in the works!

What we are looking for is people (girls or guys) from Vancouver or anywhere else that have excellent writing skills and something to write about with relevance to our site.
We don't want articles that ramble on about how "this bar sucks...this bar is good...this bar is good". Opinionated writing is great but there has to be some style to it. Some wit that either makes the reader laugh (in a classy way) or think about something they have never thought before.

We are looking for people that will write on all sorts of different topics. Music, bars, clubs, clothes, fashion and other types of cool new gear, drinks, sex, celebrities, rants (as long as they are related to the site) etc. Want to do a column on music great. Bars? Great! Sex? Great! Something that's on your mind (besides sex ) that you want to share with/show the world. Awesome. Just make it witty and mature or informative. Your style and character should shine through the writing!

Requirements, more about the site and other things such as benefits for writers can be found on the site.

For more information please visit www.edrink.net and read the application info at www.edrink.net/journalistapplication.pdf

So in short, what you have to do is simply think of something to write about (something witty, funny, on your mind keeping in mind that there should be some relevance to the site), write it and email it to [email protected][/email] ASAP.

We are looking to have all journalist application positions filled by June 1st!!! Please send me an example of your writing by then because the site is then ready for launch!

For any questions or inquiries feel free to contact me @ [email][email protected]

I hope to hear from you and read your articles soon!

Thanks for your time guys!

June 1st!

~Sean G and Greg H

ps. I'd like to hear some opinions on this site, the idea etc. Feel free to post them below or PM me!

I'm interested but I'm based out of Calgary. Not sure if you want any "foreign" reporters.

Good Luck with everything dude

if you need help with SPORTS then I'd gladly be willing to help.
I am an absolute sports FREAK (especially hockey)
I dont really attend clubs or raves as often anymore, I only usually go to the BIG EVENTS so I wouldnt be much of help on the Night Life there.

I'm based in Calgary which might be a problem also but I've taken a couple English courses at Mount Royal College here (which will be a university soon). I'm still not the BEST writer but like I said, if you need help I'd gladly help. I honestly have nothing else to do right now. haha
