    I want to highly encourage folks who like Trek topics and like writing, or want to learn more about more professional writing (and still love Trek) to apply for this. I wish I had more time and gumption to dedicate to FNS to be able to write the content they need. So I implore anyone with time and passion to apply. This is such a great team and opportunity!

    I used to be a writer and lead editor of my old fleet's magazine so I might put in for this since I did enjoy doing it back then and I love writing.

    Would also have to jump on this and say FNS is a great area to work in, even if you only have a limited amount of writing capability FNS will help you expand on those skills and write some really good articles.

    I've worked in FNS since it's return last year and it's certainly helped me hone my skills so much so that I've now devoted my time to becoming an Editor for FNS.

    All in all! a great area to work in so send those apps in!

    The Hearld has been for me a brilliant place to write for. I used to be the Editor in chief of the re-imagined herald several years ago now and I still look back with pride at what we all accomplished together!

    Just a little bump to this, we're on the lookout for another one or two writers, so if you have any writing experience and a genuine passion for trek/sci-fi news then this is the job for you, be sure to send in an app before the position closes!
