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.

  • Your work is always credited to you.

What we need from you
