Budding writers needed for my new cycling website.

[Andrew_Culture]

I've 'soft-launched' a new cycling news website called VeloBalls and I'm in need of writers.

I'm looking for writers, so if you'd like to contribute please let me know if you fancy having a go. Here are the rough editorial guidelines:

• Articles must be at least 200 words.
• You're welcome to report on interesting cycling-related news articles that you find, but any re-reporting you do must have at least a hint of your opinion on the piece.
• I'm also interested in 'thought pieces', so if you've got a bee in your bonnet about something related to cycling please get in touch and let me know what you'd like to rant about.
• At the moment the editor and sub-editor on this site is me and my assistant editor, so your articles will be treated as if you were submitting them as a professional writer, which is great if you're trying to make a name for yourself.
• Profanity is fine, and positively encouraged, as long as it's creative!

When you've written five articles I'll list you on the staff page and link through to any online projects you'd like to promote. The budget is pretty much zero at the moment, but I do have a long history of making websites work, so when VeloBalls starts to make money I'll definitely be paying my writers.

If you'd like a flavour of the sort of tone we have on the site pop on over at have a look at http://VeloBalls.com

Thank you in advance you lovely people!
