FanGraphs: Now Hiring

We haven’t done this in a while — the last one was more than three years ago, actually — but FanGraphs is now actively accepting applications to join our writing staff. Specifically, we are looking for someone who is interested in writing for the main blog on a daily basis. Familiarity and comfort with the data here on FanGraphs is a requirement, but just as importantly, we’re looking for someone who can generate their own ideas and topics while providing interesting analysis or commentary on the game of baseball.

This is a paid part-time position, so prior writing experience is strongly preferred. When applying, please include samples of your writing — links to previously published content is even better — as well as either a resume or a brief overview of your educational and writing experience. Applications should be emailed to wanted@fangraphs.com, and use the subject line “FanGraphs Writer Application – 2015”; please ensure that is the subject so that we can keep all of the applications organized and yours does not slip through the cracks.

Whether you primarily have an analytical bent and are looking to use us as a springboard to getting hired by a team — we’re actually okay with that, so feel free to be honest about this — or identify yourself as a writer who is looking for a larger platform to publish your ideas about the game, we’re interested in seeing what you might be able to offer to the site. If you feel like you’d be a good fit as a daily writer for FanGraphs, drop us a line. We cannot promise to respond to every application we receive, but we’ll make sure every applicant receives serious consideration.
