Join Us for the 2014 Journalist Training Program Sessions!

Everyone starts somewhere. Are you ready for an online writing experience that will boost your skills and your resume? Well then…

Why Join the Journalist Training Program?

“Not gonna lie, it’s a pretty great feeling to see something you’ve written published online. It’s an even better feeling when that published something is on the front page. That’s the awesome part about GameSkinny – people actually read your stuff.

Sure, I have a personal blog and sometimes I write things there, but on GameSkinny, I’m a *real* writer with a real audience. That exposure comes with perks too. Since I started writing for GameSkinny, my Twitter following has grown and I’ve been asked to participate in things like podcasts and streams.” – Lauren
