The MMC Arts Grant assists comic book creators with small grants to assist in the costs in self-publishing their work. It is not the grants intention to fully support an artist/writer through the entire process of self-publishing, but rather to encourage creators to experience the learning process involved in working towards such a goal.

As we are focused on creators, please note that submissions containing any AI-generated art or stories will not qualify for the grant.

I'm seeking a freelance NHL writer for BetMGM's The Roar in Canada (https://lnkd.in/gxcJ_Gr6). 

Secondary coverage of soccer, golf, and/or tennis is ideal. In-depth knowledge of the sports betting landscape and a solid understanding of best SEO practices when writing are needed.

Please ping me directly if you're interested, and feel free to pass this along to your contacts.

I'm looking to bring on a writer quickly with the NHL playoffs starting next month.

I am hiring two remote freelance writers to write VGIM while I’m on book leave in the summer.

I am looking for a couple of top notch writers to help me out by:

• Crafting five VGIMs across the course of June, July and August.
• Ensuring each newsletter follows house style (i.e. features lots of puns).
• Uploading them to Substack’s back end for me to run the rule over.

While I will consider all relevant applications, I am particularly keen to bring on writers who can demonstrate i) that they can compose crisp copy to a deadline, ii) know the games landscape and iii) understand the industry sits in a wider political, cultural and commercial context.

And in return for freeing their lance up for me, each successful writer will be paid £1500 for five newsletters (a rate of £300 per edition of VGIM produced).

Interested in applying? Send me a short email outlining why you think you’d be a great fit for VGIM with links to your work to george@videogamesindustrymemo.com by Friday 28th March.
