St Louis Cardinals: Redbird Rants Needs Writers!

Redbird Rants has held a steady place as FanSided’s home for total St Louis Cardinals coverage for some time now, dating back to when the site was first launched in March of 2009.

There have been plenty of changes to rosters for the St Louis Cardinals in that time frame and plenty of changes to the staff here as well. There’s a lot of history here, both with the teams and with our efforts to write about them.

Despite the changes, there has always been one constant here with regards to our goals: to give you folks, our readers, the very best St Louis Cardinals sports discussion that we possibly can.

Consider yourself a passionate fan? Read us or other St Louis Cardinals Sports sites with regularity and ever wonder if you should write about the team too? Maybe you’re just stumbling across us for the first time and you like what you see. We are looking to add to our staff here and this could be your chance to grab a bat and join the team.

Expectations

We like to let our staff write about the aspects of the St Louis Cardinals they are most passionate about. Maybe you’re more of a transaction junkie and you want to talk about the impact a new signing could have. Or maybe you just want to chip in on solid series previews, game recaps, or any number of other potential story ideas that could relate to the St Louis Cardinals.

More from Redbird Rants

Writers are asked to contribute a minimum of 1-2 posts per week. We’ll always welcome more frequent contributions than that, but we won’t require it.

We know that for most this is primarily a hobby and something you do for the love of it. That’s why we do it too. Most of us have families, full-time careers, and/or school to factor into our lives as well (there’s room for things besides sports, right?).

This is an opportunity to join a staff of writers here who are just passionate about the Cardinals and want to continue to reach the rest of this great fan base.

Seeking a bigger opportunity?

Think the Staff Writer role isn’t quite enough of a challenge for you? Have enough passion about this team and think you can be a help in leading the site and further building this community? There is a unique opportunity for a motivated individual to join our team as a co-editor.

Such a role is going to be much more involved than what we lay out above, both in terms of overall expectations and the benefits you’ll see for said efforts. It can be a great opportunity for someone looking to establish their voice on a great platform covering this team year-round.

Want to join us?

Applying is very easy. Head on over and complete an application. It’ll give you a chance to share some insight into your background (prior online writing experience is not necessary but always encouraged) and let us know why you’d be a fit on site, so give it your best. We’ll be in touch from there.
