OTM Looking for New Daily Writer

by Randy Booth on Apr 1, 2010 4:00 PM EDT in News

Hello OTM fans,

I wanted to let everyone know that we are currently looking for a new writer to join the staff. The writer would be responsible for a daily links writeup, which would look something like this (but not exactly):

Complete details will be hashed out with the new writer, as the setup would be a little different. Fortunately, OTM and SB Nation has this really fantastic tool within the story editor that makes finding links and distributing them extremely easy, with just a few clicks of the mouse.

This is not a paid position, but it would give you front-page access to write. We are looking for solid writers that really know their Red Sox.

If you are interested, please e-mail me at RBOOTH at OVERTHEMONSTER dot COM. Please include your OTM screen name and, if you have any, a writing sample or two.

If you have any questions, you can e-mail me or leave a comment.

Is BS not writing anymore?

I've gotten a bit busy with school and being a teenager.

I do miss OTM terribly though – hence why I clicked this link when it popped up on FB.
Good luck to whoever takes on the position; it’s a lot of fun, and you gain a better perspective. If anyone is considering it, I’d recommend getting a Twitter account and an RSS feed collector. Beyond that, the actual article itself doesn’t take too long to write, if you have all the links and quotes clipped* ahead of time.

*I don’t know if this tool is still around on SBN, but if so, USE IT. It makes everything so much easier.

I didn't and don't work here

but I thought you did a good job. You always seemed to find the little nuggets of information that were hard to find but so interesting you wondered why it wasn’t on the front page of the boston globe.

Good luck with the whole teenager thing, it gets way better once you get to college (beer AND girls in the same room that you sleep!?!?!?!)
