Do you have what it takes to show off your writing skills. Well if you do Footballforum's editorial staff is looking for you.
1. Editorials should have three parts: First is the introduction, where you state what your contention is. This should usually be one paragraph in length, and never any longer than two paragraphs. The next section is the body, or the evidence you present to back up the claims that you’ve made in your introduction. Lastly is the conclusion—another one or two paragraph matter. Here you summarize your contention and evidence, and lay out any warnings you especially want the reader to remember (if such exists).
2. Do not be afraid to be controversial and when you do, write with confidence! No one has all the answers, but you should write as though you do.
3. Let your personality come out: If you’re known for sarcasm, be sarcastic. If you’re known for being funny, find a way to inject humor into your writing.
4. Use emotion. Tell how *you* feel, or felt. If you’re angry—express it! If you’re happy—let it show. Talk about the emotion of your subject and talk about the emotion of others.
5. Make every sentence count, and use as few words as possible to make your point. Clear, short sentences are best. Check your grammer and spelling twice.
Editorials to be posted on Blogs, once week! We require only one blog a week. It will then be featured in all of the forums in the network.
We are looking primarily for Basketball only, however, if you want, you can write about any sport.
