The Comic Book Bin is looking for volunteer writers for its gaming, movies, action figures, fan films and of course comic book sections. Traditionally, the Comic Book Bin’s audience has always had a more diverse profile than many other sites in this industry.

Games

We're looking for game reviewers and a writer interested in covering gaming news. This is a great opportunity for gaming fan who wants to get more involved in that industry without having to start a Web site from scratch. Building on the established audience of the Comic Book Bin, you can get more exposure and the notice of the industry. We cover console and PC games, but a good pitch from a serious editor could get us to open up to mobile gaming as well.

Movies

We're looking for more coverage of the movie biz, especially, in the area of DVD news and reviews. If you want to write reviews and commentaries on films, this is the place to be. An active writer or editor can make this section really shine, as the movie reviews already cover diverse genres.

Action Figures

The Comic Book Bin's Action Figures reviews are some of the best and most respected in the toy industry. When we write something, vendors and collectors pay attention. Currently specialized in DC Direct, Marvel Legends and Street Fighter action figures, we'd like to improve our news coverage, and offer more toy line reviews, better coverage of custom-made action figures, and inform about collectible items.

Comics

Our existing team already does a great job with limited resources, when covering comics. Being a staff writer for a comic book publication is a great way to get your name known and brush up your writing skills. When writing about comics for the Bin, you'll feel like you're influencing the industry in a meaningful way.

Fan Films

Fan films are just cool. That's why we're looking for a Youtube addict to spot the latest happennings on the Web and post them here. We're looking for someone also interested in adding a few commentaries about the films. This is an ideal position for those who don't like to write a lot, but still want to contribute.

The Bin's Philosophy

The Comic Book Bin's approach is to be professional and above the fray. We don't do gossip, spoil news or do petty attacks. We report, comment, inform clearly and fairly. Because our articles are read by many parents, casual readers, and kids, we make it a priority to offer information that anyone can understand.  To help our writers and editors, The Bin provides several thorough writing guides. Our writers' independence is respected.  So drop your message boards and flame wars and create something that will last longer and will be viewed by far more people than hardcore fans.
