Write for The Outerhaven

Are you passionate about gaming, geek culture, and creating awesome content? We’re looking for freelance writers to join The Outerhaven and help expand our collection of game guides, lists, reviews, and editorials. Whether you’re an experienced writer or someone with fresh takes and enthusiasm, we want to hear from you!

Things we’re looking for

  • Gaming Guides – Step-by-step walkthroughs, beginner tips, strategy breakdowns
  • Gaming Lists – Top 5’s, Top 10’s, Best Weapons, Best Characters, etc.
  • Editorials

If your idea doesn’t fall into one of those categories, but you think it fits our vibe, pitch it anyway!

Here’s what we’re looking for right now

  • Doom: The Dark Ages
  • Elden Ring Nightreign
  • Blades of Fire
  • Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
  • Guides for upcoming games that aren’t mentioned. Reach out to us and let us know your ideas.

What your pitch idea should include

  • It should be about something recent unless you feel this idea is timeless.
  • It would help if you had a clear argument for why this idea should be written. Is it interesting? Is it compelling?
  • Why are you the right person for this idea? Pitch us! Entice us! Hold us hostage (maybe don’t do that).

Be informative

Above all else, your submission must be informative and entertaining. Have you done your research? Does your pitch make sense to readers, and you? A strong pitch is clear, concise, and backed by knowledge. We’re looking for content that teaches, engages, and adds value. So make sure you’ve done your homework before hitting submit.

We’re inclusive

We welcome everyone, regardless of background or identity. If you’re passionate about games and can create content that’s engaging, informative, and well-researched, you’re in the right place.

That said, we have a limited budget, and not everything submitted will be approved. Nor will everything that gets to us be a fit for what we do here.
