OrangeBison.com is undergoing a restructure and expansion. This is a great time to get on board. From previous advertising these roles fill very fast so get in touch asap.

Are you an aspiring game journalist? Are you looking for a career reviewing games? Then this is the opportunity for you. We will be up front and state that this role is NOT paid. What it does give you is a place to showcase your skills, your writing and passion for the job. This can then be used to launch your career as several of our previous writers have done.

Orange Bison was launched in June 2016. We have helped raise the profiles of many indie games and have even bigger plans ahead.

The benefits of choosing to write with us:

  • The game you choose to review will most likely be available to you free of charge.
  • Your work is always credited to you.
  • You will get your own spot on the Orange Bison about us page.
  • You will get your own author completed works page to showcase your writing.
  • Access to an OrangeBison.com email account.

What we need from you

We need passionate and reliable writers to review indie games both old and new. Communication is important, you will be required to communicate with the team via our channels.

Our expectations

Timescales are important and must be met without exception. The written work completed must be your own original content and not published online or offline. All work will be reviewed by the editor before going live, this may mean that your work may be slightly modified to ensure best practice and maintain the highest standards.

Contributors are expected to meet a minimum agreed amount of work within the month. This depends on the individuals other commitments and worked out on a one to one basis.

Time to apply

Ooh, nice :) Our lack of physical premises has always stopped us doing much on the merchandising line!

We should have our first prototypes ready in the next month or so and then will be running some contests and giveaways to get launched.  ;D

Are you actually getting the things made in NI? Or outsourcing the direct manufacture? :)

All getting made in Northern Ireland. All in house.  :D

Hi everyone! We are about to launch our very own premium t-shirt range which we will be printing in house. We would like to invite any indie devs who want to see their designs on t-shirt form to contact us. Due to bringing the operation in house we can offer you a 15% commission on every t-shirt sold using your design. The commission is based on the sell price.

As it's our brand we take care of everything all you have to do is promote and cash in your commission payments. You can also order bulk packages for promotions, competitions or events that can be shipped to you directly.

Get in touch or ask as many questions as you want below.  :)

Orange Bison is an indie game news & review website launching mid June 2016.

THE OPPORTUNITY

I am currently looking for additional game reviewers to join our growing team. if you are passionate about games this may be the perfect opportunity for you. As a contributor for Orange Bison you will receive:

Your own author page on OrangeBison.com.
A link to your own website or blog.
Your work will be attributed to you.
Your own OrangeBison.com email address.
Receive and keep game review copies where applicable.

THE GUIDELINES

There are a few simple rules when reporting news, events or general blog topics for OrangeBison.com. These are:

A minimum of 800 words.
Contain your own captured images. Cite the source of images used when it is not possible to use your own.
Submit a minimum of 2 articles a week.
Work submitted must not be published elsewhere online or offline.
All work submitted via the Product Eev platform which is free to use.

This is a good opportunity if you need to build your contacts with those in the industry. Would suit students very well and even game developers too. We had an amazing response to our advert for game reviewers and now hopefully will have an equally good response for these opportunities.

PM me if you are interested.

Looks really nice. I like the graphics style and interface. It seems very responsive and not bogged down by too much information. Popping over to your twitter page now to see more.  :gandalfgrey:

I would imagine you have a few ideas lol!

More than just reviews. It can be think pieces, news etc. As long as it all relates to the indie gaming community. Can even be coverage of new gaming computers etc.

I would love for you to be able to contribute, even if its sporadic.  :P
