- You must be able to write posts in a timely manner. We work with our writers to establish a writing schedule that fits their lifestyle, be it weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly. Some types of articles, such as TV episode recaps or breaking news, need to be posted as quickly as possible and will have more immediate deadlines.
