Handsome Phantom Is Looking For New Members!
The Handsome Phantom team is expanding!
Handsome Phantom has a quickly growing and expanding audience, and we’re looking to put out even more content. If you’re passionate about games and have a knack for any of the things below, we’d love to hear from you.
*At this point, Handsome Phantom is not offering paid positions. We can offer opportunity, exposure, and some free games to review, interviews with established industry contacts and more for the time being. We are committed to monetarily compensating staff when it becomes possible. We understand if this isn’t for you and, if it’s not, no worries!*
Writers
We’re looking for all forms of writing about games, such as previews, reviews, news opinions, listicles and more. If it has to do with gaming, we’re interested!
Whether you have experience or not, we want you to apply if you think you have a knack for writing, and know that you have a deep love for video games. You’ll have a lot of freedom on what you write, but we may also assign certain topics based on what interests you have expressed.
Handsome Phantom publishes written content Monday through Friday. If you apply, we ask that you would commit to two (2) articles of some type per month at a minimum.
News Writers
Basically, we’re looking for the same thing as above with the following modifications…
News comes fast in the video game world. Sometimes it is pretty difficult to find something of interest, and other times there is more news coming out than you can handle. News writers need to be able to see something of interest (whether on Twitter, an article elsewhere, email blasts, newsletters, etc) and be able to hop on it with facts in a reliable and consistent matter of time while verifying the information.
Writers who focus on news should aim to put out at least two short pieces of content per week and should aim to have an article up the same day as the news is out. It doesn’t have to be minutes after it breaks, but it should be within hours as to remain relevant.
Those with established industry contacts will be given preference, but it is not a requirement.
Video Capture/Production
If you have any experience capturing gameplay, editing video, or otherwise want to be involved with engaging and interesting video content, we’d love to chat. We recently became YouTube Partners and are looking to continually expand our growing YouTube channel.
Please submit any examples of video work you’ve done in the past as an example of your work, alongside your written interest.

If you’re interested in working with us, send a letter of interest and a writing sample (if applicable) to our Editor-In-Chief, Ben Smith, at BenS@Handsomephantom.com
Thanks!
