Wanted: Writers

Monday, January 12th, 2009

Running the shop, posting to this web site and sending out email invites for our spectacular events all get in the way of my having fun!

I am looking for some game enthusiasts who are good at writing (and love to do so) to help fill this site with useful game reviews, strategy and how-to articles, event listings and reports about events that have already happened.  If you have any interest in mashing your computer keyboard on Neverland Games’ behalf, please come by the store so we can talk about it.  The write stuff can earn cash and/or store credit!
