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:
- Blog posts that link to Asian-American people/issues, and your opinions about the matter
- 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.
