Monique the Druid says hi~ As real life obligations build and certain staff members become re-addicted to World of Warcraft, it becomes clear our five member core is going to need to be readjusted. As such, Girls Don’t Game is currently looking for one more talented writer to round out our already awesome staff. If accepted, you will be responsible for four original posts a month with nonnegotiable deadlines. In return, we offer:

- Exposure
- A stylized avenue to present your opinions free of censorship
- A large and diverse readership
- The opportunity to be a part of a growing website for years to come

This offer is extended until the spot is filled, however long that takes. Please note that we are picky and are truly looking for someone special. We want a person who is extraordinarily reliable and dedicated to video gaming. If you do not get accepted, we apologize in advance and hope there will be no ill feelings.
