With spring training and the regular season right around the corner and with some new openings on the staff here at Battery Power, we’ve decided to officially open up applications in order to find new writers! If you’d like a chance to write about the Braves for what is (in our own biased opinion) the best website on the internet for fan-based coverage of the Braves, now’s your chance to throw your hat into the ring.
We’re looking for writers who would be willing to help out with game coverage at least once a week (including weekends). Any analysis pieces and willingness to chip in with news coverage would also be nice as well, but we’re primarily trying to find writers who would be willing to do previews, cover lineups, post game threads and do recaps for single games across the regular season. This would be a paid position, albeit a part-time one with a monthly stipend.
Naturally, we’d be looking for Braves fans with prior writing experience to cover the team but all writers of all backgrounds and prior experience are encouraged to apply. Whether you’re a writer who has been counting the days until baseball season since the last pitch of the 2025 World Series was thrown or someone who is just willing to jump right into the baseball writing world for the first time, we encourage you to apply. So yeah, we’re trying to cast this net as wide as possible in order to open it up to as many interested parties as we can. This is a fun gig and we want to bring in some new writers for the fun!
We are asking that you either do both No. 1 and No. 2 OR that you do No. 3 by itself.
We’ll tell you how to apply below. Even though we are trying to cast this net as wide as possible, it would still be a plus for you if you’re familiar with being able to apply statistics and data from FanGraphs, Baseball-Reference, Baseball Savant (Statcast) and Baseball Prospectus. Again, it’s not a requirement but it’s certainly a plus.
Send your article and/or pitch in a .docx or .pdf attachment via e-mail to batterypowersbn [at] gmail [dot] com. Please include “New Writer Application” in the subject line. Please attach your resume to the email as well. If you have social media that you’re willing to share with us, please give us your handle as well. If you happen to have any links to your past writing (like this, for instance) then please share that as well.
We will close applications at 11:59 p.m. ET on Friday, February 20. We’ll announce the new writers by early March — ideally the first week of March. Thanks for reading and we’re looking forward to seeing how this process plays out!
