Film Fans In NYC & LA! Write For The Hollywood News!

All of the way back in 2003, I thought it would be a really cool idea to start up a film website, and nearly nine years later that film website is still going strong. What started out as a solo effort, evolved into the charging beast that is The Hollywood News today, boasting over twenty writers from around the world. We publish dozens of news articles, film reviews, film features and previews every day, and we’re looking for new talent to join our team.

US Based Film Writers Wanted

So, what do we want? Well, we’re looking to expand to the United States of America, and we’re looking for talented young writers to contribute to our news, features and reviews areas of the site. The role is a bit of an all-rounder, but we predominantly want someone based either in New York City or Los Angeles, available during the working week (Mon-Fri) to attend film screenings, film junkets and occasionally review the odd DVD or Blu-Ray. You will also have access to our back end site to post news articles as they break…

The right candidate will need the following:

  • To live in, or within a commutable distance of either New York or Los Angeles.
  • To live, breathe, but beyond all, LOVE movies more than life itself.
  • Be confident and be willing to interview film industry talent when needed (sometimes on video)
  • Be able to write news and reviews to deadline.
  • Have some web skills and be able to use blogging software like Wordpress.
  • Have a DVD, and/or Blu-Ray player.
  • Be articulate, and above all have good grammar.

So, how much will you get paid? Well, that’s the bad news. At present, we can’t afford to pay any of our writers and all of us that work on the site do it because we just love movies, and The Hollywood News has become a way of life for us all, day in, day out. Basically, we’re like a big happy family. However, we can throw you the odd freebie from time to time, you can keep most of DVDs and Blu-Rays that you review for the site, and most of all you get your work seen by millions of film fans around the world and by people that work within the industry that we all love. Also, our writers have been put into the same room as the likes of Robert Downey Jr, Johnny Depp, Scarlett Johansson, Tim Burton, Jeremy Renner, Kermit The Frog, Miss Piggy, Tom Hiddleston, Emma Stone, Michael Fassbender, Rowan Atkinson, Steven Spielberg and many more.. and that’s in the past year alone.

What we also need from you:

  • We want to see a little bit of what you can do. Please send us an example of your work. It can be a news article in the style of the  stuff that we put together for the site, a film review or a feature.

Send that, plus your full details, to the site’s editor-in-chief Tom Fordy:

We will reply to every email, but please only apply if you can deliver the above. We look forward to hearing from you.
