WraithStation Partnerships
We’re not specifically looking for more staff at this time, but are open to on-spec applications. If you’re looking for a collaboration or publishing partnership for your project, rather than to join the WraithStation staff team, please read our FAQ for more information.
Sphere News
If you join our press branch Sphere News, you’ll be working with the Editor-in-Chief to produce a diverse programme of written content across a variety of Minecraft-related topics and formats. You’ll be able to choose your own topics and projects (with approval from the Editor-in-Chief), so whether you’re interested in quick-fire Breaking News to get the word out quickly, or more in-depth exclusive research such as interviews and surveys with more relaxed deadlines, you’re sure to get the opportunity to work on projects that match your interests and availability.
Below are the current roles we’re looking for for the core team – although if you have other ideas for how you’d like to help, you’re welcome to put in an on-spec application for a role not mentioned. As these are longer-term positions, we look for people who are a good fit in terms of both skills and culture. If you’re interested in a shorter-term, trial, or partner role, please scroll down to the “Guest Writers” section. Applications for the core team can be submitted here.
RESEARCH:
- Find information through websites, social media, Discords, and video content.
- Write interview questions.
- Conduct verbal (Discord VC) and/or written (Google Docs) interviews.
- Create, request, or otherwise source images.
WRITING:
- Turn research material into engaging and informative written articles.
SOCIAL MEDIA:
- Write copy for quote retweets.
- Create original social media content.
IN-GAME PHOTOGRAPHY:
- Attend events and photoshoots as a Sphere News representative, to take screenshots using shaders.
If you don’t want (or aren’t accepted for) a core role, but would be interested in writing one-off or occasional articles, you can also use this form for applying as a guest writer. We’re open to submissions of already-written articles (including those that have already been published elsewhere), or pitches for article ideas you’d like to write if they get approved. That could be a news story, an opinion piece, a tutorial / educational article, or some other form of written content about Minecraft. We’re also open to discussions with the organisers of events and projects that are already producing long-form written content and would be interested in partnering with us to share it more widely.
