Background reading:
This page describes how we work with our writers, our expectations of them and what they can expect from us.
Game People is built on its varied and personable community of writers. Although some are professionals, many people write for us as a hobby, and have been invited to join after leaving comments or getting in touch.
Our expectation of our writers is simply:
- They write at least one review a month.
- Their reviews are written exclusively for us.
- That we can publish and syndicate the reviews they have written even if they stop writing for the site.
In return for our writer's hard work we offer the following:
- Editorial input to identify their unique and personal angle on gaming.
- The creation of a brand around their writing - name, logo.
- The Game People platform to promote their writing. Our writers have gone on to appear on BBC TV and Radio, Game Pro, The Escapist and IGN.
- Links to writer's other sites and work.
- Free games to review which they keep.
As we work with writers they progress through the following levels:
Level 0: Prospect
- Reading the site to understand our anecdotal style.
- Write a couple of sample reviews that focus on personal experience and avoid talking sound/graphics, or too much what happens in the game.
Level 1: Newcomer
- Writing a couple of guest reviews a month on existing sections.
Level 2: Contributor
- Writing two or more guest reviews a month on existing sections.
- Working with editor to identify and develop a personal unique angle in their writing.

Level 3: Member
- Writing at least two reviews a month for their section on Game People.
- Working to promote their section, through bloggin links, twitter, facebook.
- Recompense:Recieving games in return for reviews. Members have first chance on their preferred reviews.
Level 4: Paid Member
- Writing at least four reviews a month for their section on Game People.
- Their section home page is Page Rank 4.

Level 5: Contracted Member
