     Writers Wanted:
     We need writers willing to do editorials (Xbox 360 vs PS3/etc) Interviews (ask companies questions on upcoming titles) and maybe other articles. As of now our current staff is busy with school and reviews, so they have no time to do interviews and editorials. If you want to start working for us, this is a good place to start. Please, serious inquiries only. If you can't write, don't bother, our editors are busy enough as it is :) If you can write the English language very well and are interested in writing please inquire within. English does not have to be your native language, only well written. You must live in USA/Canada only. You must have a desire to write, and write a lot. Knowledge of computers and games is a plus. Ages 16 and up. If you fit this profile please send a sample a text of something gaming related to kurt . k (at) gamershell . com. Sample text should be in the context of gaming. 2-4 pages only.
