Soccer St. Louis Magazine Young Writers Program

Our mission is to promote and empower the St. Louis community by providing exceptional coverage of all aspects of soccer through the development of young writers. We are hoping that our program will inspire a new generation of writers to creatively and accurately report on the world around them.

Soccer St. Louis Magazine is starting a young freelance writers program. We are looking for one or two writers to represent their schools soccer program. In conjunction with local institutions of learning, we will provide opportunity for students seeking a career in journalism to have their work published. Submissions from these writers become the property of the magazine if used for publication in print or online. All contributors will be given full recognition for their work submitted if used. We are looking for students that are involved in their school newspaper, yearbook and/or soccer program.

For the initial entry we are asking interested candidates to submit an article introducing your school and team to the Soccer St. Louis community along with a brief bio on yourself (who you have written for, what you do, etc.). Include interviews with coaches, players, students, teachers and administrators. The article should also include important information about the schools location and demographics. Entries will be evaluated and one or two representatives from each school will be selected as Freelance writers for our publication. To be considered, all entries must have received an “A” or equivalent grade and be accompanied with an endorsement from the teacher or school sponsor of the yearbook or newspaper.

The student(s) selected will be asked to contributed to the magazine on a consistent basis (1-3 articles submissions per month during the season) and maintain a 2.5 g.p.a. or better, as well as be an active participant in the school community.
