Dying to speak out about your college or university?
Then, check out http://www.collegeprowler.com, the leading source of college guidebooks written by students for students. College Prowler is always looking for students to write guidebooks about their schools.
The main responsibilities of the contributing author include writing student editorials about different aspects of life at your school, researching some necessary facts, and having other students fill out a school survey. The contributing author position is a great opportunity for you to gain writing experience, be a part of a nationally recognized publishing company, gain tremendous exposure, utilize new media techniques, and share advice with high school students about what life at college is really like. Although the position is unpaid, all students will be eligible for college credit, letters of recommendation, and publishing experience. Plus, one outstanding contributing author will be awarded a $1,000 scholarship for his or her work.
