Description:

Brick Fanatics is looking for an ambitious and talented LEGO news writer to join the team in a paid part-time role.

Brick Fanatics has established itself as one of the leading providers of news, reviews and feature coverage on all things LEGO, with high editorial standards required to maintain that reputation. As we continue to grow our audience and expand the scope of our content, we’re looking for the right person to join the team in a paid position, working between 12 and 20 hours across a seven-day rota. This will include some evenings and weekends, but the rota is flexible around the needs of the entire team.

News writing is the bread and butter of any role at Brick Fanatics, but this position will also encompass feature writing, alerting our readers to the best LEGO deals around, and taking advantage of all the ways we connect with our readers, including through our social media channels and our newsletter. For the right candidate, the role could also expand to other areas such as our YouTube channel.

The ideal candidate will have qualifications and/or experience in the field of journalism, writing or similar, as well as – of course – a deep passion for all things LEGO. Your collection doesn’t have to be massive, but you need to know your Exo-Force from your NINJAGO, your casual fan from your AFOL, and your LEGO from your LEGO Group. A professional drive, an ambition to develop new and potentially cross-platform skills, and a flair for creativity are all things we’d love to see.

Hours are part-time but in the hands of the right person the role has real potential to grow further down the line, depending on individual and site development. You will need full availability for the hours requested of you, and these will include working evenings and weekends.

You will predominantly be writing news and feature coverage across all aspects of LEGO and the LEGO Group, so a good news sense is key. You’ll know where to find stories, what makes for a good story and how to communicate effectively to readers.
