Finding your first writing gig is hard. From my own experience, I remember sending out hundreds of feeler emails trying to find somewhere to accept my writing, and it can be demotivating not getting responses. Even now, as a writer-by-trade, it’s hard to find other blogs and websites that will collaborate on guest posts.
One of the greatest things about LEGO is its ability to foster creativity, curiosity, and expression. In terms of writing, these are all the ingredients that transform an ‘article’ into prose. Bricka would like to extend that sentiment to anyone who’s looking to cut their teeth in editorial, copywriting, SEO, and content creation. We’d also love for anyone with a blog, website, socials and the like to reach out so that we can collaborate.
For budding writers, this is a great chance to have your ideas published on the web, but it’s also a fantastic opportunity for you to find your voice.
Unfortunately, we can’t pay guest writers at this time.
