8 Asians

8 Asians is looking for bloggers!

OK, this is where I put my editorial hat on: Here at 8 Asians, we’re always looking for interesting, fresh voices to complement the diversity of the writers on this collaborative blog.

That’s just a fancy way of saying, “we’re looking to increase our pool of writers.” And we’re looking for all types of writers: people that talk about political and activism issues to pop culture, conversationalists to journalists. All that we ask is to keep the focus on one of two things:

1. Blog posts that link to Asian-American people/issues, and your opinions about the matter
2. Blog posts that link to general websites, and your opinions of it, as an Asian-American

If you’re interested in writing for 8 Asians, send an e-mail to ernie at this domain name, with the following:

• A little bit of information about yourself (bio, blog/journal, if you have one)
• Two sample posts, as if you were already writing for 8 Asians
• A post on 8Asians.com that you feel was the “best content”
• A suggestion as to how we can improve the site

If you guys have any questions, drop a comment and I’ll try to answer as soon as I can.

* Note: I used the term “Asian-American” when I was writing my original plans for 8 Asians, but as you’ve probably figured out by now, also applies to Canadians and has been, uhm, creatively interpreted. Technically, the writers don’t even have to be ethnically Asian.

   [...] So as you’ve probably figured out by now, we’ve added two new writers to the 8 Asians site: Akrypti and Claire. Each of these writers definitely bring new opinions and voices to the proverbial blogging table, and that is a very good thing. (That shouldn’t stop you from applying to be a writer for 8 Asians if you so desire; life happens, after all, and if and when writers drop out of the project, we’ll need new blood to take their place. Wow, that sounds really morbid.) [...]
