What can I write about?
HoopSocial is seeking anything basketball-related. We have categories in our blog for the NBA, WNBA, College Basketball, Basketball Betting, Draft Prospects, NBA Top Shot, and we are always open to new opportunities and ideas.
Critical pieces are welcomed, as long as they are well thought-out and reasoned. We are not interested in hosting shallow hit-pieces on the site. We try to be forward-thinking, so we are always open to new ideas and pitches from our staff.
Benefits
Writer Development: Our Senior Editor is very active in working with our staff. He has more than two decades of experience in sports journalism, is a noted author in print and online, and has helped many writers go on to write in College and other professional companies. For those with the interest and aptitude, he is happy to do the same.
You’ll have access to our comprehensive style and grammar guides, and receive as much critical feedback on your work as you would like to get.
