Think you’ve got what it takes to help cover the Twins?

Whether you’re a hardcore fan of the Twins looking for a hobby or someone aspiring to establish a career in sports writing, Puckett’s Pond is willing to give you a chance. Prior writing/blogging experience isn’t necessarily required (though it doesn’t hurt), all we really ask is that you’re passionate and knowledgeable about the team. We’re searching for individuals comfortable meeting the following expectations:

> Commit to at least one column a week. More is always welcome.

> Help promote and grow the site by engaging our readers through social media (specifically Twitter and Facebook).

We try to cover all aspects of the organization, so there’s always room to bring someone aboard who’d prefer to cover certain aspects of the team – from the minor leagues to stadium promotions and everything in between. We can’t offer any monetary compensation for our Staff Writer position, but there are a number of other non-monetary benefits to joining the FanSided Network and the Puckett’s Pond team, including some great exposure for your writing and a growing collection of quality writers to work with.

If you are interested in applying or simply interested in learning more, head on over and complete our network’s application. Be sure to let us know what you feel you could bring to the table that would help grow Puckett’s Pond into one of the best Twins sites available. One of our Editorial Directors will be in touch from there.

Puckett’s Pond is searching for a few new writers and this could be your opportunity to write about the team that you love with a growing audience of fans to reach. We don’t require any formal writing/blogging experience for our Staff Writer position (though it certainly doesn’t hurt) – just a solid understanding of the game, the team, and writing in general is all that is needed.

Having some passion for the game of baseball also helps.

We do ask each of our Staff Writers to contribute a minimum of 4-8 posts per month (roughly 1-2 per week). The role is currently an unpaid one, though there are other non-monetary benefits to joining the team and the FanSided Network.

Interested? Head over and complete FanSided’s application and someone will be in touch from there. Questions about the roles, the site, or anything else FanSided MLB-related? Feel free to send an email to me, Aaron Somers, the Editorial Director for FanSided MLB.
