Celebrity Baby Blog Application

To apply for any of the positions at the Celebrity Baby Blog, please complete this application. You will need to submit writing samples so if you have not prepared them yet, you may want to come back and complete this later.

Applicants for all positions will need to submit three samples of your writing (if you don't have any, please write three posts that you would contribute to the CBB) AND one post about celebrity baby news.

For your audition pieces: # Limit topics to celebrity pregnancies and babies. We no longer post stories on engagements, marriages and break-ups (well, with a few minor exceptions). We leave that to the million other gossip blogs. # Do your homework and make sure we have not already posted the news. We have a search function on the site so you can look up the topic before you write and send anything. # We have a definite style: objective and not bitchy. Unless it's an opinion piece, don't editorialize. Double-check your spelling, punctuation, grammar, etc. # Submissions must include: Title, your original story, source and full URL of the story if it's an online source, issue date if it's a magazine. # Your source needs to be a –primary- source. If you see a story on another gossip blog, figure out what the original source was and base your story on that, not the secondary source. # You need to find your own stories. Freshest news is typically found on the web. By the time stories hit print media, the news is old hat so if you are using magazines for a source, make extra sure we haven't already written about that item. Check out magazine and news sites and gossip blogs for new info and then look to see that we haven't already posted the news.
