We are currently looking for reinforcement in our author team. You can now apply for a position at MeinMMO to write news, guides, and specials about The Elder Scrolls Online (ESO) from home.
Who we are looking for: You should be well-versed in The Elder Scrolls Online and enjoy sharing your knowledge about the MMORPG.
Next, we look for:
- you are always informed about what a new patch and a new update bring to ESO.
- you enjoy engaging with the current meta and explaining it to others
- you are good at explaining things to others. A clear language is important, especially for guides
- you are interested in what the community is currently discussing in The Elder Scrolls Online
- you are familiar with Reddit, Twitter, Discord, and the official forum to stay informed
- you are ready to reflect on, accept, and grow from feedback on your work
- it’s a plus if you have previous experience: a personal blog, a streaming channel, or work for another website could fall under this. But it’s not a must for the position.
- you enjoy writing and have an interest in journalistic work
We would like to fill the position as quickly and effectively as possible. Maybe with you.
Attention: This position is intended for freelance workers. It is not a permanent position.
This is the job

The area of responsibility:
- You write articles on the MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online (news, guides, lists, analyses, opinions, community interviews)
- You independently search for exciting topics that you turn into articles. You will receive support from the editorial team
- You engage with analysis tools like Google Trends to identify what the ESO community is currently interested in. No prior knowledge is needed. The editorial team can provide you with this knowledge
- You coordinate with the editorial team which articles you would like to write about The Elder Scrolls Online
- You accept assignments from the editorial team on The Elder Scrolls Online
- You receive feedback from the editorial team on your articles and implement this accordingly
- You can optionally participate in workshops we offer in online and gaming journalism
