Want to Appear in GamePro Magazine?

If you answered "yes" to that question, I've got a very easy answer for how you can make that happen: Post on Bitmob.

Each month, the Bitmob editors pick one community-submitted article and send it on over to the GamePro staff. They lay it out all pretty-like, send it off to the printers, and before you know it, your writing and headshot are immortalized in newsstands across the country!

So what sort of stories do we pick? We don't have any set guidelines, but we do like articles that age well (it may be a month or two before an issue comes out) and ones that get their point across succinctly.

But the best advice I can give is simple: post, post, post. The more stories you submit to the Mobfeed, the greater your chances that we'll pick one of them.

Check out a list of recently featured Bitmob articles after the jump:

 

August: Joe Donato - Teaching Game Rules Naturally

September: Daniel Feit - What Happened to High-Concept Games?

October: Matthew Orona - My Four-Year-Old Son Play Grand Theft Auto

November: Jon Irwin - The Saving Grace of Bit.Trip Runner

Good luck to everyone!

Where does it say that you get paid?

You don't get paid. It was just an incredible honor having something I wrote in a magazine I grew up reading.

Actually, I got paid. Don't know about the rest of you, but I did. Not even close to the main reason to do this, though.

Matthew -- e-mail me jwilson at gamepro.com. You should've been paid.

Whoa...  I didn't get paid either.  (Again, as Matthew said, I was just psyched to get published in something I'd subscribed to 16 years prior.  Felt like a scene out of A Christmas Carol, or something.)

But to all others chosen, congrats.  And to all other Bitmob contributors, good luck!

I got picked for February, apparently. Pretty excited.
