ETB Seeking Talented Contributing Writers
April 3, 2009

In the words of Greg Graffin, “come join us.”
Since we launched back in February of ‘07 (has it really been over 2 years?), Empty the Bench’s award-winning* content has remained under the exclusive direction of myself and my esteemed colleague, Mr. Andrew “Buttercup” Thell. As I said in a recent interview over on Basketball.org, however, we’ve recently been entertaining the idea of bringing in some regular contributing writers to help us fill in the gaps and to help give you, dearest readers, more fantastic content about the NBA, NFL, and fantasy sports.
To all the writers out there in the audience, whether you consider yourself aspiring or established, that’s where you come in. We don’t care whether you’ve written 1 article or 100 articles: if you’re talented, reliable, insightful, and compassionate about your work, we’d love to hear from you. We’re specifically looking for contributors to provide content in the following areas:
- NBA & NFL Analysis with a Slant Towards Stats
- Weekly NBA & NFL Columns
- NBA & NFL Fantasy Sports Advice, Tips, and Rankings
Here’s How to Apply:
- Send an email to both brian@emptythebench.com and andrew@emptythebench.com (subject line: “Contributing Writer”), telling us a little bit about yourself, your writing background, and what you feel are your areas of expertise. Be sure to include a link or two to published content if you have it, or to paste a sample of your work directly into the email. ALL ATTACHMENTS WILL BE DELETED.
- If we’re interested, we’ll follow up as soon as possible and take it from there.
Please be familiar with our tone and style before contacting us, and if you have any specific ideas for columns and/or topics to cover, feel free to include that in your email as well. Unfortunately, we cannot offer payment to contributing writers at this time. ETB is regularly cited on some of the top sports blogs and websites around, so this is a great way to get exposure for your work and some published clips for your portfolio. All regular contributors will have a bio posted on the site.
We look forward to hearing from you.
