    Write for Us! - The Punished Backlog Is Seeking New Writers

    Looking to join a team of talented writers and lend your voice to the growing world of video games and entertainment? Look no further!

    The Punished Backlog is seeking new blog contributors. We’ve grown exponentially over the years, and currently welcome 20,000+ readers a month.

    Please note: This is a volunteer position.

    Who We’re Looking For 

    • Curious individuals who’re passionate about writing, self-editing, and connecting with others about shared interests
    • Bonus points if you’re savvy with SEO and WordPress, but not necessary—our editorial team is happy to format your pieces for you!
    • All people are welcome to apply, but we especially encourage femme, PoC, queer, and neurodiverse writers. 

    Why Write for Us?

    Here’s the list of perks:

    • Free games! Get access to video game review codes ahead of release.
    • Flexibility. No weekly quotas; you choose what to write, and when to write it.*
    • Visibility. Write a post, and get a new publication for your personal blog, portfolio, or resume.
    • Credibility. Any reviews you write will be featured on OpenCritic.
    • Community. Contributing writers are invited to join our active Discord channel where we share gaming hot takes, Marvel Snap victories, team-wide backlog challenges, memes, and, of course, review codes and gaming news. At our heart, The Punished Backlog is a diverse group of friends who enjoy talking about games.

    *For example, PJ ranked all 231 NPCs in Breath of the Wild, Amanda made a guide to get your mom into video games, David did a hit piece on MyFitnessPal, and Sam wants people to play old Nintendo games before they’re gone forever. 

    What Is It Like To Write for Us?

    I was so frustrated about Cyberpunk 2077 that I had to write about it. On a whim, I asked my IRL friend Sam if he thought it could have a home on the gaming site he contributed to. For the past few years, writing for The Punished Backlog has given me the opportunity to hone my writing skills, review games both large and small, and make new friends with kind, funny, and passionate gamers. Even though I still haven’t given Cyberpunk a second chance, I’ll always be grateful it brought me here! – Amanda 

    How Do I Apply or Pitch a Guest Post? 

    If interested, please complete this Google Form. A member of our staff will reach out within 1-2 weeks if we think you’d be a good fit. For any and all questions, feel free to shoot an email over to david.silbert[at]punishedbacklog.com.

    Best of luck, and we look forward to hearing from you!
